How does it work?
The ⓍTTS model uses a few tricks to make voice cloning and speech generation super easy. It doesn’t require an excessive amount of training data, and it supports streaming inference.
Performance
ⓍTTS is a powerhouse when it comes to voice generation tasks. But how does it perform? Let’s dive in and explore its speed, accuracy, and efficiency.
Speed
ⓍTTS is incredibly fast, thanks to its ability to support streaming inference. This means it can process audio clips in real-time, making it perfect for applications that require quick voice generation.
Accuracy
But speed isn’t everything. ⓍTTS also boasts impressive accuracy in voice cloning and multi-lingual speech generation. It can accurately mimic the tone, pitch, and style of the original speaker, even when generating speech in a different language.
Efficiency
So, how efficient is ⓍTTS? Well, it’s designed to be highly efficient, requiring minimal training data to produce high-quality results. This makes it perfect for applications where data is limited or where speed is of the essence.
Limitations
ⓍTTS is a powerful voice generation model, but it’s not perfect. Let’s talk about some of its limitations.
Limited Language Support
While ⓍTTS supports 14 languages, it’s still a limited set. What if you want to clone a voice in a language that’s not on the list? Unfortunately, you’re out of luck for now. However, the developers are actively working on adding more languages, so stay tuned!
Quality of Cloning
Voice cloning is a complex task, and ⓍTTS may not always produce perfect results. The quality of the cloning depends on various factors, such as the quality of the input audio, the similarity between the source and target voices, and the complexity of the text being synthesized.
Format
ⓍTTS is a Voice generation model that uses a transformer architecture to clone voices into different languages. It supports 14 languages and can generate speech by cloning a voice using just a 6-second audio clip.
Supported Data Formats
- Audio clips (6-second clip required for voice cloning)
- Text data (for speech generation)
Input Requirements
- For voice cloning, you need a 6-second audio clip of the target speaker’s voice.
- For speech generation, you need to provide the text you want to generate speech for.
- You also need to specify the language you want to generate speech in.
Output
- ⓍTTS generates audio files in 24khz sampling rate.
Example Usage
Here’s an example of how to use ⓍTTS to generate speech by cloning a voice:
from TTS.api import TTS
tts = TTS("tts_models/multilingual/multi-dataset/xtts_v1", gpu=True)
tts.tts_to_file(text="It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it I'm not going to be silent.",
file_path="output.wav",
speaker_wav="/path/to/target/speaker.wav",
language="en")
This code generates an audio file output.wav by cloning the voice in the audio clip /path/to/target/speaker.wav and speaking the text in English.
