ChatTTS

English | 中文简体

Based on the source code, added:

  1. ** ollama large model access **, in the experimental folder under the llm.py increased the call ollama class;
  2. Added spk_stat.pt file;
  3. Just open ttsllm.py run

ChatTTS is a text-to-speech model designed specifically for dialogue scenario such as LLM assistant. It supports both English and Chinese languages. Our model is trained with 100,000+ hours composed of chinese and english. The open-source version on HuggingFace is a 40,000 hours pre trained model without SFT.

For formal inquiries about model and roadmap, please contact us at open-source@2noise.com. You could join our QQ group: 808364215 for discussion. Adding github issues is always welcomed.

Highlights

  1. Conversational TTS: ChatTTS is optimized for dialogue-based tasks, enabling natural and expressive speech synthesis. It supports multiple speakers, facilitating interactive conversations.
  2. Fine-grained Control: The model could predict and control fine-grained prosodic features, including laughter, pauses, and interjections.
  3. Better Prosody: ChatTTS surpasses most of open-source TTS models in terms of prosody. We provide pretrained models to support further research and development.

For the detailed description of the model, you can refer to video on Bilibili

ChatTTS is a powerful text-to-speech system. However, it is very important to utilize this technology responsibly and ethically. To limit the use of ChatTTS, we added a small amount of high-frequency noise during the training of the 40,000-hour model, and compressed the audio quality as much as possible using MP3 format, to prevent malicious actors from potentially using it for criminal purposes. At the same time, we have internally trained a detection model and plan to open-source it in the future.

Usage

basic usage

import ChatTTS
from IPython.display import Audio

chat = ChatTTS.Chat()
chat.load_models()

texts = ["<PUT YOUR TEXT HERE>",]

wavs = chat.infer(texts, use_decoder=True)
Audio(wavs[0], rate=24_000, autoplay=True)

advanced usage

###################################
# Sample a speaker from Gaussian.
import torch
std, mean = torch.load('ChatTTS/asset/spk_stat.pt').chunk(2)
rand_spk = torch.randn(768) * std + mean

params_infer_code = {
  'spk_emb': rand_spk, # add sampled speaker 
  'temperature': .3, # using custom temperature
  'top_P': 0.7, # top P decode
  'top_K': 20, # top K decode
}

###################################
# For sentence level manual control.

# use oral_(0-9), laugh_(0-2), break_(0-7) 
# to generate special token in text to synthesize.
params_refine_text = {
  'prompt': '[oral_2][laugh_0][break_6]'
} 

wav = chat.infer("<PUT YOUR TEXT HERE>", params_refine_text=params_refine_text, params_infer_code=params_infer_code)

###################################
# For word level manual control.
text = 'What is [uv_break]your favorite english food?[laugh][lbreak]'
wav = chat.infer(text, skip_refine_text=True, params_infer_code=params_infer_code)

Roadmap

  • Open-source the 40k hour base model and spk_stats file
  • Open-source VQ encoder and Lora training code
  • Streaming audio generation without refining the text*
  • Open-source the 40k hour version with multi-emotion control
  • ChatTTS.cpp maybe? (PR or new repo are welcomed.)

FAQ

How much VRAM do I need? How about infer speed?

For a 30-second audio clip, at least 4GB of GPU memory is required. For the 4090D GPU, it can generate audio corresponding to approximately 7 semantic tokens per second. The Real-Time Factor (RTF) is around 0.65.

model stability is not good enough, with issues such as multi speakers or poor audio quality.

This is a problem that typically occurs with autoregressive models(for bark and valle). It's generally difficult to avoid. One can try multiple samples to find a suitable result.

Besides laughter, can we control anything else? Can we control other emotions?

In the current released model, the only token-level control units are [laugh], [uv_break], and [lbreak]. In future versions, we may open-source models with additional emotional control capabilities.
