🐸TTS is a library for advanced Text-to-Speech generation. It's built on the latest research, was designed to achieve the best trade-off among ease-of-training, speed and quality.
🐸TTS comes with pretrained models, tools for measuring dataset quality and already used in **20+ languages** for products and research projects.

You can also help us implement more models.

## Install TTS
🐸TTS is tested on Ubuntu 18.04 with **python >= 3.6, < 3.9**.

If you are only interested in [synthesizing speech](https://tts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/inference.html) with the released 🐸TTS models, installing from PyPI is the easiest option.

```bash
pip install TTS
```

If you plan to code or train models, clone 🐸TTS and install it locally.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS
pip install -e .[all,dev,notebooks]  # Select the relevant extras
```

If you are on Ubuntu (Debian), you can also run following commands for installation.

```bash
$ make system-deps  # intended to be used on Ubuntu (Debian). Let us know if you have a diffent OS.
$ make install
```

If you are on Windows, 👑@GuyPaddock wrote installation instructions [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66726331/how-can-i-run-mozilla-tts-coqui-tts-training-with-cuda-on-a-windows-system).

## Use TTS

### Single Speaker Models

- List provided models:

    ```
    $ tts --list_models
    ```

- Run TTS with default models:

    ```
    $ tts --text "Text for TTS"
    ```

- Run a TTS model with its default vocoder model:

    ```
    $ tts --text "Text for TTS" --model_name "<language>/<dataset>/<model_name>
    ```

- Run with specific TTS and vocoder models from the list:

    ```
    $ tts --text "Text for TTS" --model_name "<language>/<dataset>/<model_name>" --vocoder_name "<language>/<dataset>/<model_name>" --output_path
    ```

- Run your own TTS model (Using Griffin-Lim Vocoder):

    ```
    $ tts --text "Text for TTS" --model_path path/to/model.pth --config_path path/to/config.json --out_path output/path/speech.wav
    ```

- Run your own TTS and Vocoder models:
    ```
    $ tts --text "Text for TTS" --model_path path/to/config.json --config_path path/to/model.pth --out_path output/path/speech.wav
        --vocoder_path path/to/vocoder.pth --vocoder_config_path path/to/vocoder_config.json
    ```

### Multi-speaker Models

- List the available speakers and choose as <speaker_id> among them:

    ```
    $ tts --model_name "<language>/<dataset>/<model_name>"  --list_speaker_idxs
    ```

- Run the multi-speaker TTS model with the target speaker ID:

    ```
    $ tts --text "Text for TTS." --out_path output/path/speech.wav --model_name "<language>/<dataset>/<model_name>"  --speaker_idx <speaker_id>
    ```

- Run your own multi-speaker TTS model:

    ```
    $ tts --text "Text for TTS" --out_path output/path/speech.wav --model_path path/to/config.json --config_path path/to/model.pth --speakers_file_path path/to/speaker.json --speaker_idx <speaker_id>
    ```
