# Text-to-Speech (TTS) with FastSpeech2 trained on LJSpeech

This repository provides all the necessary tools for Text-to-Speech (TTS)  with SpeechBrain using a [FastSpeech2](https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.04558) pretrained on [LJSpeech](https://keithito.com/LJ-Speech-Dataset/).

The pre-trained model takes texts or phonemes as input and produces a spectrogram in output. One can get the final waveform by applying a vocoder (e.g., HiFIGAN) on top of the generated spectrogram. It should be noted that if the input is text, we use a state-of-the-art grapheme-to-phoneme module to convert it to phonemes and then pass the phonemes to fastspeech2 model.


## Install SpeechBrain

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

Please notice that we encourage you to read our tutorials and learn more about

### Perform Text-to-Speech (TTS) with FastSpeech2

```
import torchaudio
from speechbrain.pretrained import FastSpeech2
from speechbrain.pretrained import HIFIGAN

# Intialize TTS (tacotron2) and Vocoder (HiFIGAN)
fastspeech2 = FastSpeech2.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/tts-fastspeech2-ljspeech", savedir="tmpdir_tts")
hifi_gan = HIFIGAN.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/tts-hifigan-ljspeech", savedir="tmpdir_vocoder")

# Run TTS with text input
input_text = "were the leaders in this luckless change; though our own Baskerville; who was at work some years before them; went much on the same lines;"

mel_output, durations, pitch, energy = fastspeech2.encode_text(
  [input_text],
  pace=1.0,        # scale up/down the speed
  pitch_rate=1.0,  # scale up/down the pitch
  energy_rate=1.0, # scale up/down the energy
)

# Running Vocoder (spectrogram-to-waveform)
waveforms = hifi_gan.decode_batch(mel_output)

# Save the waverform
torchaudio.save('example_TTS_input_text.wav', waveforms.squeeze(1), 22050)


# Run TTS with phoneme input
input_phonemes = ['W', 'ER', 'DH', 'AH', 'L', 'IY', 'D', 'ER', 'Z', 'IH', 'N', 'DH', 'IH', 'S', 'L', 'AH', 'K', 'L', 'AH', 'S', 'CH', 'EY', 'N', 'JH', 'spn', 'DH', 'OW', 'AW', 'ER', 'OW', 'N', 'B', 'AE', 'S', 'K', 'ER', 'V', 'IH', 'L', 'spn', 'HH', 'UW', 'W', 'AA', 'Z', 'AE', 'T', 'W', 'ER', 'K', 'S', 'AH', 'M', 'Y', 'IH', 'R', 'Z', 'B', 'IH', 'F', 'AO', 'R', 'DH', 'EH', 'M', 'spn', 'W', 'EH', 'N', 'T', 'M', 'AH', 'CH', 'AA', 'N', 'DH', 'AH', 'S', 'EY', 'M', 'L', 'AY', 'N', 'Z', 'spn']
mel_output, durations, pitch, energy = fastspeech2.encode_phoneme(
  [input_phonemes],
  pace=1.0,        # scale up/down the speed
  pitch_rate=1.0,  # scale up/down the pitch
  energy_rate=1.0, # scale up/down the energy
)

# Running Vocoder (spectrogram-to-waveform)
waveforms = hifi_gan.decode_batch(mel_output)

# Save the waverform
torchaudio.save('example_TTS_input_phoneme.wav', waveforms.squeeze(1), 22050)
```

If you want to generate multiple sentences in one-shot, you can do in this way:

```
from speechbrain.pretrained import FastSpeech2
fastspeech2 = FastSpeech2.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/tts-fastspeech2-ljspeech", savedir="tmpdir_tts")
items = [
       "A quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog",
       "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck?",
       "Never odd or even"
     ]
mel_outputs, durations, pitch, energy = fastspeech2.encode_text(items)

```

### Inference on GPU
To perform inference on the GPU, add  `run_opts={"device":"cuda"}`  when calling the `from_hparams` method.

### Training
The model was trained with SpeechBrain.
To train it from scratch follow these steps:
1. Clone SpeechBrain:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain/
```
2. Install it:
```bash
cd speechbrain
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .
```
3. Run Training:
```bash
cd recipes/LJSpeech/TTS/fastspeech2/
python train.py --device=cuda:0 --max_grad_norm=1.0 --data_folder=/your_folder/LJSpeech-1.1 hparams/train.yaml
```
You can find our training results (models, logs, etc) [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Yb8CDCrW7JF1_jg8Xc4U15z3W37VjrY5?usp=share_link).

### Limitations
The SpeechBrain team does not provide any warranty on the performance achieved by this model when used on other datasets.
