Text-to-Speech (TTS) with FastSpeech2 trained on LJSpeech

This repository provides all the necessary tools for Text-to-Speech (TTS) with SpeechBrain using a FastSpeech2 pretrained on LJSpeech.

The pre-trained model takes texts or phonemes as input and produces a spectrogram in output. One can get the final waveform by applying a vocoder (e.g., HiFIGAN) on top of the generated spectrogram. It should be noted that if the input is text, we use a state-of-the-art grapheme-to-phoneme module to convert it to phonemes and then pass the phonemes to fastspeech2 model.

Install SpeechBrain

git clone https://github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain.git
cd speechbrain
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install --editable .

Perform Text-to-Speech (TTS) with FastSpeech2

import torchaudio
from speechbrain.inference.TTS import FastSpeech2
from speechbrain.inference.vocoders import HIFIGAN

# Intialize TTS (tacotron2) and Vocoder (HiFIGAN)
fastspeech2 = FastSpeech2.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/tts-fastspeech2-ljspeech", savedir="pretrained_models/tts-fastspeech2-ljspeech")
hifi_gan = HIFIGAN.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/tts-hifigan-ljspeech", savedir="pretrained_models/tts-hifigan-ljspeech")

# Run TTS with text input
input_text = "were the leaders in this luckless change; though our own Baskerville; who was at work some years before them; went much on the same lines;"

mel_output, durations, pitch, energy = fastspeech2.encode_text(
  [input_text],
  pace=1.0,        # scale up/down the speed
  pitch_rate=1.0,  # scale up/down the pitch
  energy_rate=1.0, # scale up/down the energy
)

# Running Vocoder (spectrogram-to-waveform)
waveforms = hifi_gan.decode_batch(mel_output)

# Save the waverform
torchaudio.save('example_TTS_input_text.wav', waveforms.squeeze(1), 22050)


# Run TTS with phoneme input
input_phonemes = ['W', 'ER', 'DH', 'AH', 'L', 'IY', 'D', 'ER', 'Z', 'IH', 'N', 'DH', 'IH', 'S', 'L', 'AH', 'K', 'L', 'AH', 'S', 'CH', 'EY', 'N', 'JH', 'spn', 'DH', 'OW', 'AW', 'ER', 'OW', 'N', 'B', 'AE', 'S', 'K', 'ER', 'V', 'IH', 'L', 'spn', 'HH', 'UW', 'W', 'AA', 'Z', 'AE', 'T', 'W', 'ER', 'K', 'S', 'AH', 'M', 'Y', 'IH', 'R', 'Z', 'B', 'IH', 'F', 'AO', 'R', 'DH', 'EH', 'M', 'spn', 'W', 'EH', 'N', 'T', 'M', 'AH', 'CH', 'AA', 'N', 'DH', 'AH', 'S', 'EY', 'M', 'L', 'AY', 'N', 'Z', 'spn']
mel_output, durations, pitch, energy = fastspeech2.encode_phoneme(
  [input_phonemes],
  pace=1.0,        # scale up/down the speed
  pitch_rate=1.0,  # scale up/down the pitch
  energy_rate=1.0, # scale up/down the energy
)

# Running Vocoder (spectrogram-to-waveform)
waveforms = hifi_gan.decode_batch(mel_output)

# Save the waverform
torchaudio.save('example_TTS_input_phoneme.wav', waveforms.squeeze(1), 22050)

If you want to generate multiple sentences in one-shot, you can do in this way:

from speechbrain.inference.TTS import FastSpeech2
fastspeech2 = FastSpeech2.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/tts-fastspeech2-ljspeech", savedir="pretrained_models/tts-fastspeech2-ljspeech")
items = [
       "A quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog",
       "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck?",
       "Never odd or even"
     ]
mel_outputs, durations, pitch, energy = fastspeech2.encode_text(
  items,
  pace=1.0,        # scale up/down the speed
  pitch_rate=1.0,  # scale up/down the pitch
  energy_rate=1.0, # scale up/down the energy
)

Inference on GPU

To perform inference on the GPU, add run_opts={"device":"cuda"} when calling the from_hparams method.

Training

The model was trained with SpeechBrain. To train it from scratch follow these steps:

Clone SpeechBrain:

git clone https://github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain/

Install it:

cd speechbrain
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .

Run Training:

cd recipes/LJSpeech/TTS/fastspeech2/
python train.py --device=cuda:0 --max_grad_norm=1.0 --data_folder=/your_folder/LJSpeech-1.1 hparams/train.yaml

You can find our training results (models, logs, etc) here.

Limitations

The SpeechBrain team does not provide any warranty on the performance achieved by this model when used on other datasets.
