#  Shona Text-to-Speech

This repository contains the **Shona (sna)** language text-to-speech (TTS) model checkpoint.



## Model Details
# Model Description
 
- **Developed by:** Fastino Mateteva
- **Model type:** Text to Speech
- **Language(s) (NLP):** Shona
- **Finetuned from model:** SpeechT5





## Usage



```
pip install --upgrade transformers accelerate
```

Then, run inference with the following code-snippet:

```python

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTextToWaveform

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Fastino06/ff")
model = AutoModelForTextToWaveform.from_pretrained("Fastino06/ff")


text = "some example text in the Shona language"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")

with torch.no_grad():
    output = model(**inputs).waveform
```

The resulting waveform can be saved as a `.wav` file:

```python
import scipy

scipy.io.wavfile.write("fassy.wav", rate=model.config.sampling_rate, data=output)
```

Or displayed in a Jupyter Notebook / Google Colab:

```python
from IPython.display import Audio

Audio(output, rate=model.config.sampling_rate)
```
