VoiceFixer

Voicefixer aims at the restoration of human speech regardless how serious its degraded. It can handle noise, reveberation, low resolution (2kHz~44.1kHz) and clipping (0.1-1.0 threshold) effect within one model.

This package provides:

• A pretrained 44.1k universal speaker-independent neural vocoder.
• A pretrained Voicefixer, which is build based on neural vocoder.

Demo

Please visit demo page to view what voicefixer can do.

Usage

Desktop App

First, install voicefixer via pip:

pip install voicefixer==0.0.14

You can test audio samples on your desktop by running website (powered by streamlit)

1. Clone the repo first.

git clone https://github.com/haoheliu/voicefixer.git
cd voicefixer

2. Initialize and start web page.

# Install additional web package
pip install streamlit
# Run streamlit 
streamlit run test/streamlit.py

Important: When you run the above command for the first time, the web page may leave blank for several minutes for downloading models. You can checkout the terminal for downloading progresses.

Python Examples

First, install voicefixer via pip:

pip install voicefixer==0.0.14

Then run the following scripts for a test run:

git clone https://github.com/haoheliu/voicefixer.git; cd voicefixer
python3 test/test.py # test script

We expect it will give you the following output:

Initializing VoiceFixer...
Test voicefixer mode 0, Pass
Test voicefixer mode 1, Pass
Test voicefixer mode 2, Pass
Initializing 44.1kHz speech vocoder...
Test vocoder using groundtruth mel spectrogram...
Pass

test/test.py mainly contains the test of the following two APIs:

• voicefixer.restore
• vocoder.oracle

...

# TEST VOICEFIXER
## Initialize a voicefixer
print("Initializing VoiceFixer...")
voicefixer = VoiceFixer()
# Mode 0: Original Model (suggested by default)
# Mode 1: Add preprocessing module (remove higher frequency)
# Mode 2: Train mode (might work sometimes on seriously degraded real speech)
for mode in [0,1,2]:
    print("Testing mode",mode)
    voicefixer.restore(input=os.path.join(git_root,"test/utterance/original/original.flac"), # low quality .wav/.flac file
                       output=os.path.join(git_root,"test/utterance/output/output_mode_"+str(mode)+".flac"), # save file path
                       cuda=False, # GPU acceleration
                       mode=mode)
    if(mode != 2):
        check("output_mode_"+str(mode)+".flac")
    print("Pass")

# TEST VOCODER
## Initialize a vocoder
print("Initializing 44.1kHz speech vocoder...")
vocoder = Vocoder(sample_rate=44100)

### read wave (fpath) -> mel spectrogram -> vocoder -> wave -> save wave (out_path)
print("Test vocoder using groundtruth mel spectrogram...")
vocoder.oracle(fpath=os.path.join(git_root,"test/utterance/original/p360_001_mic1.flac"),
               out_path=os.path.join(git_root,"test/utterance/output/oracle.flac"),
               cuda=False) # GPU acceleration

...

You can clone this repo and try to run test.py inside the test folder.

Others Features

• How to use your own vocoder, like pre-trained HiFi-Gan?

First you need to write a following helper function with your model. Similar to the helper function in this repo: https://github.com/haoheliu/voicefixer/blob/main/voicefixer/vocoder/base.py#L35

    def convert_mel_to_wav(mel):
        """
        :param non normalized mel spectrogram: [batchsize, 1, t-steps, n_mel]
        :return: [batchsize, 1, samples]
        """
        return wav

Then pass this function to voicefixer.restore, for example:

voicefixer.restore(input="", # input wav file path
                   output="", # output wav file path
                   cuda=False, # whether to use gpu acceleration
                   mode = 0,
                   your_vocoder_func = convert_mel_to_wav)

Note:

• For compatibility, your vocoder should working on 44.1kHz wave with mel frequency bins 128.
• The input mel spectrogram to the helper function should not be normalized by the width of each mel filter.
