Features

🌍 Chinese supported mandarin and tested with multiple datasets: aidatatang_200zh, magicdata, aishell3

🤩 PyTorch worked for pytorch, tested in version of 1.9.0(latest in August 2021), with GPU Tesla T4 and GTX 2060

🌍 Windows + Linux tested in both Windows OS and linux OS after fixing nits

🤩 Easy & Awesome effect with only newly-trained synthesizer, by reusing the pretrained encoder/vocoder

Quick Start

1. Install Requirements

Follow the original repo to test if you got all environment ready. **Python 3.7 or higher ** is needed to run the toolbox.

• Install PyTorch.

If you get an ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement torch==1.9.0+cu102 (from versions: 0.1.2, 0.1.2.post1, 0.1.2.post2 ) This error is probably due to a low version of python, try using 3.9 and it will install successfully

• Install ffmpeg.
• Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the remaining necessary packages.
• Install webrtcvad pip install webrtcvad-wheels(If you need)

Note that we are using the pretrained encoder/vocoder but synthesizer, since the original model is incompatible with the Chinese sympols. It means the demo_cli is not working at this moment.

2. Train synthesizer with your dataset

• Download aidatatang_200zh or other dataset and unzip: make sure you can access all .wav in train folder
• Preprocess with the audios and the mel spectrograms: python pre.py <datasets_root>

Allowing parameter --dataset {dataset} to support adatatang_200zh, magicdata, aishell3, BZNSYP

If it happens the page file is too small to complete the operation, please refer to this video and change the virtual memory to 100G (102400), for example : When the file is placed in the D disk, the virtual memory of the D disk is changed.

• Train the synthesizer: python synthesizer_train.py mandarin <datasets_root>/SV2TTS/synthesizer

• Go to next step when you see attention line show and loss meet your need in training folder synthesizer/saved_models/.

FYI, my attention came after 18k steps and loss became lower than 0.4 after 50k steps.

2.2 Use pretrained model of synthesizer

Thanks to the community, some models will be shared:

2.3 Train vocoder (Optional)

• Preprocess the data: python vocoder_preprocess.py <datasets_root>

• Train the vocoder: python vocoder_train.py mandarin <datasets_root>

3. Launch the Toolbox

You can then try the toolbox:

python demo_toolbox.py -d <datasets_root> or python demo_toolbox.py

Good news🤩: Chinese Characters are supported

TODO

• Add demo video
• Add support for more dataset
• Upload pretrained model
• Support parallel tacotron
• Service orianted and docterize
• 🙏 Welcome to add more
