Massively Multilingual Speech (MMS) : Text-to-Speech Models

This repository contains the Abidji (abi) language text-to-speech (TTS) model checkpoint.

This model is part of Facebook's Massively Multilingual Speech project, aiming to provide speech technology across a diverse range of languages. You can find more details about the supported languages and their ISO 639-3 codes in the MMS Language Coverage Overview.

Usage

Using this checkpoint from Hugging Face Transformers:

from transformers import VitsModel, VitsMmsTokenizer
import torch

model = VitsModel.from_pretrained("Matthijs/mms-tts-abi")
tokenizer = VitsMmsTokenizer.from_pretrained("Matthijs/mms-tts-abi")

text = "some example text in the Abidji language"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")

with torch.no_grad():
    output = model(**inputs)

from IPython.display import Audio
Audio(output.audio[0], rate=16000)
