EasyTTS 0.3.2

Ready-to-use Multilingual Text-To-Speech (TTS) package.

EasyTTS is an open-source and ready-to-use Multilingual Text-To-Speech (TTS) package.

The goal is to simplify usages of state-of-the-art text-to-speech models for a variety of languages (french, english, ...).

⚠️ EasyTTS is currently in beta. ⚠️

Quick installation

EasyTTS is constantly evolving. New features, tutorials, and documentation will appear over time. EasyTTS can be installed via PyPI to rapidly use the standard library. Moreover, a local installation can be used by those users than want to run experiments and modify/customize the toolkit. EasyTTS supports both CPU and GPU computations. Please note that CUDA must be properly installed to use GPUs.

Anaconda setup

conda create --name EasyTTS python=3.7 -y
conda activate EasyTTS
pip install git+https://github.com/repodiac/german_transliterate

More information on managing environments with Anaconda can be found in the conda cheat sheet.

Install via PyPI

Once you have created your Python environment (Python 3.7+) you can simply type:

pip install EasyTTS
pip install git+https://github.com/repodiac/german_transliterate

Install with GitHub

Once you have created your Python environment (Python 3.7+) you can simply type:

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

Any modification made to the EasyTTS package will be automatically interpreted as we installed it with the --editable flag.

Example Usage

import soundfile as sf
from EasyTTS.inference.TTS import TTS

tts = TTS(lang="fr") # Instantiate the model for your language
audio = tts.predict(text="Bonjour à tous") # Make a prediction

sf.write('./audio_pip.wav', audio, 22050, "PCM_16") # Save output in .WAV file
