# 🗣️ Open TTS Tracker

A one stop shop to track all open-access/ source TTS models as they come out. Feel free to make a PR for all those that aren't linked here.

This is aimed as a resource to increase awareness for these models and to make it easier for researchers, developers, and enthusiasts to stay informed about the latest advancements in the field.

> [!NOTE]  
> This repo will only track open source/access codebase TTS models. More motivation for everyone to open-source! 🤗

* *Multilingual* - Amount of supported languages is ever changing, check the Space and Hub which specific languages are supported
* *ALL* - Supports all natural languages; may not support artificial/contructed languages

## Legend

For the [above](#) TTS capability table. Open the [viewer](./viewer) in another window or even another monitor to keep both it and the legend in view.

* Processor ⚡ - Inference done by
  * CPU (CPU**s** = multithreaded) - All models can be run on CPU, so real-time factor should be below 2.0 to qualify for CPU tag, though some more leeway can be given if it supports audio streaming
  * CUDA by *NVIDIA*™
  * ROCm by *AMD*™
* Phonetic alphabet 🔤 - Phonetic transcription that allows to control pronunciation of words before inference
  * [IPA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet) - International Phonetic Alphabet
  * [ARPAbet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPABET) - American English focused phonetics
* Insta-clone 👥 - Zero-shot model for quick voice cloning
* Emotion control 🎭 - Able to force an emotional state of speaker
  * 🎭 <# emotions> ( 😡 anger; 😃 happiness; 😭 sadness; 😯 surprise; 🤫 whispering; 😊 friendlyness )
  * strict insta-clone switch 🎭👥 - cloned on sample with specific emotion; may sound different than normal speaking voice; no ability to go in-between states
  * strict control through prompt 🎭📖 - prompt input parameter
* Prompting 📖 - Also a side effect of narrator based datasets and a way to affect the emotional state
  * 📖 - Prompt as a separate input parameter
  * 🗣📖 - The prompt itself is also spoken by TTS; [ElevenLabs docs](https://elevenlabs.io/docs/speech-synthesis/prompting#emotion)
* Streaming support 🌊 - Can playback audio while it is still being generated
* Speech control 🎚 - Ability to change the pitch, duration, etc. for the whole and/or per-phoneme of the generated speech
* Voice conversion / Speech-To-Speech 🦜 - Streaming support implies real-time S2S; S2T=>T2S does not count
* Longform synthesis 📜 - Able to synthesize whole paragraphs, as some TTS models tend to break down after a certain audio length limit

Example if the proprietary ElevenLabs were to be added to the capabilities table:
| Name | Processor<br>⚡ | Phonetic alphabet<br>🔤 | Insta-clone<br>👥 | Emotional control<br>🎭 | Prompting<br>📖 | Speech control<br>🎚 | Streaming support<br>🌊 | Voice conversion<br>🦜 | Longform synthesis<br>📜 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| --- |
|ElevenLabs|CUDA|IPA, ARPAbet|👥|🎭📖|🗣📖|🎚 stability, voice similarity|🌊|🦜|📜 Projects|

More info on how the capabilities table can be found within the [GitHub Issue](https://github.com/Vaibhavs10/open-tts-tracker/issues/14).

Please create pull requests to update the info on the models.
