Parler-TTS

Parler-TTS is a lightweight text-to-speech (TTS) model that can generate high-quality, natural sounding speech in the style of a given speaker (gender, pitch, speaking style, etc). It is a reproduction of work from the paper Natural language guidance of high-fidelity text-to-speech with synthetic annotations by Dan Lyth and Simon King, from Stability AI and Edinburgh University respectively.

Contrarily to other TTS models, Parler-TTS is a fully open-source release. All of the datasets, pre-processing, training code and weights are released publicly under permissive license, enabling the community to build on our work and develop their own powerful TTS models.

This repository contains the inference and training code for Parler-TTS. It is designed to accompany the Data-Speech repository for dataset annotation.

Important

We're proud to release Parler-TTS Mini v0.1, our first 600M parameter model, trained on 10.5K hours of audio data. In the coming weeks, we'll be working on scaling up to 50k hours of data, in preparation for the v1 model.

📖 Quick Index

Installation

Parler-TTS has light-weight dependencies and can be installed in one line:

pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/parler-tts.git

Apple Silicon users will need to run a follow-up command to make use the nightly PyTorch (2.4) build for bfloat16 support:

pip3 install --pre torch torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cpu

Usage

Tip

You can directly try it out in an interactive demo here!

Using Parler-TTS is as simple as "bonjour". Simply use the following inference snippet.

from parler_tts import ParlerTTSForConditionalGeneration
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
import soundfile as sf
import torch

device = "cpu"
if torch.cuda.is_available():
    device = "cuda:0"
if torch.backends.mps.is_available():
    device = "mps"
if torch.xpu.is_available():
    device = "xpu"
torch_dtype = torch.float16 if device != "cpu" else torch.float32

model = ParlerTTSForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("parler-tts/parler_tts_mini_v0.1").to(device, dtype=torch_dtype)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("parler-tts/parler_tts_mini_v0.1")

prompt = "Hey, how are you doing today?"
description = "A female speaker with a slightly low-pitched voice delivers her words quite expressively, in a very confined sounding environment with clear audio quality. She speaks very fast."

input_ids = tokenizer(description, return_tensors="pt").input_ids.to(device)
prompt_input_ids = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").input_ids.to(device)

generation = model.generate(input_ids=input_ids, prompt_input_ids=prompt_input_ids).to(torch.float32)
audio_arr = generation.cpu().numpy().squeeze()
sf.write("parler_tts_out.wav", audio_arr, model.config.sampling_rate)

Training

Open In Colab

The training folder contains all the information to train or fine-tune your own Parler-TTS model. It consists of:

Important

TL;DR: After having followed the installation steps, you can reproduce the Parler-TTS Mini v0.1 training recipe with the following command line:

accelerate launch ./training/run_parler_tts_training.py ./helpers/training_configs/starting_point_0.01.json

This library builds on top of a number of open-source giants, to whom we'd like to extend our warmest thanks for providing these tools!

Contribution

Contributions are welcome, as the project offers many possibilities for improvement and exploration.

Namely, we're looking at ways to improve both quality and speed:

  • Datasets:
    • Train on more data
    • Add more features such as accents
  • Training:
    • Add PEFT compatibility to do Lora fine-tuning.
    • Add possibility to train without description column.
    • Add notebook training.
    • Explore multilingual training.
    • Explore mono-speaker finetuning.
    • Explore more architectures.
  • Optimization:
    • Compilation and static cache
    • Support to FA2 and SDPA
  • Evaluation:
    • Add more evaluation metrics
