What is tts-tacotron2-ljspeech?
The tts-tacotron2-ljspeech is a state-of-the-art text-to-speech synthesis model implemented using the SpeechBrain framework. Built on the Tacotron2 architecture and trained on the LJSpeech dataset, this model converts text input into high-quality speech spectrograms that can be converted to audio using a HiFiGAN vocoder.
Implementation Details
This implementation leverages the Tacotron2 architecture, known for its sequence-to-sequence approach with attention mechanisms. The model generates mel-spectrograms from input text, which are then converted to waveforms using a companion HiFiGAN vocoder.
- Easy integration with SpeechBrain framework
- Support for both single and batch text processing
- GPU-compatible inference
- Seamless integration with HiFiGAN vocoder
Core Capabilities
- High-quality English speech synthesis
- Batch processing of multiple text inputs
- 22.05kHz sampling rate output
- Flexible deployment options (CPU/GPU)
