Hugging Face Text-to-Speech (TTS) Model - Assignment 07

Overview

This project demonstrates how to clone and perform inference with a pre-trained Text-to-Speech (TTS) model from Hugging Face. The implementation converts input text into natural-sounding speech using the VITS (Variational Inference with adversarial learning for end-to-end Text-to-Speech) model.

Usage

Method 1: Complete Multi-Language Demo

Run the comprehensive script with both English and Vietnamese:

python Assignment_07.py

This runs both the multi-language demo and assignment-specific demo.

Method 2: Jupyter Notebook Demo

Use the step-by-step notebook following exact assignment requirements:

jupyter notebook tts_demo.ipynb

Method 3: Assignment Demo Only

Import and run just the assignment demo:

from Assignment_07 import assignment_demo
assignment_demo()

Custom Text Input

Modify the MODELS_CONFIG in the main script:

MODELS_CONFIG = {
    "vietnamese": {
        "model_name": "facebook/mms-tts-vie",
        "texts": [
            "Your custom Vietnamese text here",
            "Another Vietnamese sentence"
        ]
    }
}

Adding New Languages

Extend support by adding new language configurations:

MODELS_CONFIG = {
    "english": {...},
    "vietnamese": {...},
    "spanish": {
        "model_name": "facebook/mms-tts-spa",
        "texts": ["Hola mundo"]
    }

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **Model Download Fails**

Solution: Check internet connection and retry Alternative: Use different model name

Solution: Close other applications or use smaller model


3. **Audio File Not Created**

Solution: Check write permissions in output directory


4. **Import Errors**

Solution: Reinstall dependencies with: pip install -r requirements.txt


### Performance Tips
- **First Run**: Model download may take several minutes
- **Subsequent Runs**: Models are cached locally for faster loading
- **Batch Processing**: Process multiple texts in single session for efficiency
- **Memory**: Close unused applications for better performance
