A PyTorch implementation of Tacotron2, described in Natural TTS Synthesis By Conditioning Wavenet On Mel Spectrogram Predictions, an end-to-end text-to-speech(TTS) neural network architecture, which directly converts character text sequence to speech.

• Python3.6+ (Recommend Anaconda)
• PyTorch 0.4.1+
• pip install -r requirements.txt
• If you want to run egs/ljspeech/run.sh, download LJ Speech Dataset for free.

$ cd egs/ljspeech
# Modify wav_dir to your LJ Speech dir
$ bash run.sh

That's all.

You can change parameter by $ bash run.sh --parameter_name parameter_value, egs, $ bash run.sh --stage 2. See parameter name in egs/ljspeech/run.sh before . utils/parse_options.sh.

Workflow of egs/ljspeech/run.sh:

• Stage 1: Training
• Stage 2: Synthesising

egs/ljspeech/run.sh provide example usage.

# Set PATH and PYTHONPATH
$ cd egs/ljspeech/; . ./path.sh
# Train:
$ train.py -h
# Synthesis audio:
$ synthesis.py -h

If you want to visualize your loss, you can use visdom to do that:

1. Open a new terminal in your remote server (recommend tmux) and run $ visdom
2. Open a new terminal and run $ bash run.sh --visdom 1 --visdom_id "<any-string>" or $ train.py ... --visdom 1 --vidsdom_id "<any-string>"
3. Open your browser and type <your-remote-server-ip>:8097, egs, 127.0.0.1:8097
4. In visdom website, chose <any-string> in Environment to see your loss

$ bash run.sh --continue_from <model-path>

Use comma separated gpu-id sequence, such as:

$ bash run.sh --id "0,1"

• When happened in training, try to reduce batch_size or use more GPU. $ bash run.sh --batch_size <lower-value> or $ bash run.sh --id "0,1".

This is a work in progress and any contribution is welcome (dev branch is main development branch).

I implement feature prediction network + Griffin-Lim to synthesis speech now.
