# 🎙️ Flare-TTS v1.5 28M
|
| 20 |
+
Welcome to Flare-TTS **v1.5** 28M, an open-source text-to-speech model with 28 million parameters trained on LJSpeech.
|
| 21 |
+
<br>
|
| 22 |
+
This is an improved version of Flare-TTS 28M (v1) which is now using a vocoder to remove these robotic sounds!
|
| 23 |
+
|
| 24 |
+
## Quality and results
|
| 25 |
+
This model has a much better quality now, it doesn't sound robotish anymore and you can clearly understand what the model says.
|
| 26 |
+
<br>
|
| 27 |
+
Example:
|
| 28 |
+
<audio controls src="https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/697f2832c2c5e4daa93cece7/vluuHSnp9Ietk7Uk1-hvG.mpga"></audio>
|
| 29 |
+
|
| 30 |
+
## Training process
|
| 31 |
+
We trained this model for ~300 epochs on a single A6000 GPU for ~24 hours. Note that this model is based on the first version Flare-TTS 28M.
|
| 32 |
+
Furthermore, this model now uses a vocoder - see train_vocoder.py for more information and the full code.
|
| 33 |
+
The full training code for the vocoder can be found in this repo as `prepare.sh` and `train_vocoder.py`.
|
| 34 |
+
<br>
|
| 35 |
+
The full pretraining code is here: https://huggingface.co/LH-Tech-AI/Flare-TTS-28M/tree/main
|
| 36 |
+
|
| 37 |
+
## Architecture
|
| 38 |
+
This model was trained using CoquiTTS. For the architecture we chose GlowTTS.
|
| 39 |
+
|
| 40 |
+
## Training dataset
|
| 41 |
+
We trained on the full LJSpeech dataset. Thanks to keithito for this :-)
|
| 42 |
+
|
| 43 |
+
## How to use
|
| 44 |
+
As soon as you have the model checkpoint (`model.pth`) and `config.json` on your device, you can generate a sample using:
|
| 45 |
+
```bash
|
| 46 |
+
tts --text "Hello, world! This is the second version of Flare-TTS - now with a vocoder. The robot sounds are finally gone!" \
|
| 47 |
+
--model_path ./model.pth \
|
| 48 |
+
--config_path ./config.json \
|
| 49 |
+
--vocoder_path ./vocoder.pth \
|
| 50 |
+
--vocoder_config_path ./vocoder_config.json \
|
| 51 |
+
--out_path output_1.wav
|
| 52 |
+
```
|
| 53 |
+
|
| 54 |
+
## Final thoughts
|
| 55 |
+
This model is much better in the audio quality than the first version of Flare-TTS 28M.
|
| 56 |
+
<br>
|
| 57 |
+
But stay tuned for a third version with more features! :D
