Parler-TTS Mini Portuguese

Parler-TTS Mini Multilingual v1 is a multilingual extension of Parler-TTS Mini.

It is a fine-tuned version, trained on BRSpeech-TTS-Dataset. In all, this represents some 200 hours of portuguese data.

Parler-TTS Mini Portuguese can speak in Brazilian Portuguese

Thanks to its better prompt tokenizer, it can easily be extended to other languages. This tokenizer has a larger vocabulary and handles byte fallback, which simplifies multilingual training.

🚨 This work is the result of a collaboration between the HuggingFace audio team and the Quantum Squadra team. The AI4Bharat team also provided advice and assistance in improving tokenization. 🚨

🛠️ Usage

🚨Unlike previous versions of Parler-TTS, here we use two tokenizers - one for the prompt and one for the description.🚨

👨‍💻 Installation

Using Parler-TTS is as simple as "bonjour". Simply install the library once:

pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/parler-tts.git

Inference

Parler-TTS has been trained to generate speech with features that can be controlled with a simple text prompt, for example:

import torch
from parler_tts import ParlerTTSForConditionalGeneration
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
import soundfile as sf

device = "cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
Claro\! O resultado da execução do código, que cria a lista a partir dos nomes do dicionário, é:

speakers = ['Diana', 'Eduardo', 'Uriel', 'Guilherme', 'Zoe', 'Quirino', 'Enzo', 'Henrique', 'Davi', 'Thiago', 'Sofia', 'Wilson', 'Ximenia', 'Osvaldo', 'Icaro', 'Raquel', 'Carolina', 'Debora', 'Xavier', 'Olivia', 'Erick', 'Silvio', 'Daniel', 'Joao', 'Italo', 'Manuela', 'Caio', 'Yuri', 'Samuel', 'Isabela', 'Sabrina', 'Paulo', 'Victor', 'Amanda', 'Alexandre', 'Vitoria', 'Emilia', 'Diego', 'Daniela', 'Joana', 'Gabriel', 'Wanda', 'Alice', 'Valentina', 'Bruno', 'Hugo', 'Yara', 'Vinicius', 'Patricia', 'Luiz', 'Valter', 'Leticia', 'Iris', 'Fernando', 'Julio', 'Carlos', 'Lucas', 'Mateus', 'Rebeca', 'Rafael', 'Bernardo', 'Flavia']

model = ParlerTTSForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("freds0/parler-tts-mini-v1.1-ptbr").to(device)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("parler-tts/parler-tts-mini-multilingual")
description_tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model.config.text_encoder._name_or_path)

prompt = "Minha terra tem palmeiras onde canta o sabiá, as aves que aqui gorjeiam não gorjeiam como lá."
description = "Diana's speech is very clear and has a consistent tone, and she is in a very confined sounding environment with clear audio quality."

input_ids = description_tokenizer(description, return_tensors="pt").input_ids.to(device)
prompt_input_ids = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").input_ids.to(device)

generation = model.generate(input_ids=input_ids, prompt_input_ids=prompt_input_ids)
audio_arr = generation.cpu().numpy().squeeze()
sf.write("parler_tts_out.wav", audio_arr, model.config.sampling_rate)

Tips:

• We've set up an inference guide to make generation faster. Think SDPA, torch.compile, batching and streaming!
• Include the term "very clear audio" to generate the highest quality audio, and "very noisy audio" for high levels of background noise
• Punctuation can be used to control the prosody of the generations, e.g. use commas to add small breaks in speech
• The remaining speech features (gender, speaking rate, pitch and reverberation) can be controlled directly through the prompt

Motivation

Parler-TTS is a reproduction of work from the paper Natural language guidance of high-fidelity text-to-speech with synthetic annotations by Dan Lyth and Simon King, from Stability AI and Edinburgh University respectively.

Contrarily to other TTS models, Parler-TTS is a fully open-source release. All of the datasets, pre-processing, training code and weights are released publicly under permissive license, enabling the community to build on our work and develop their own powerful TTS models. Parler-TTS was released alongside:

• The Parler-TTS repository - you can train and fine-tuned your own version of the model.
• The Data-Speech repository - a suite of utility scripts designed to annotate speech datasets.
• The Parler-TTS organization - where you can find the annotated datasets as well as the future checkpoints.
