Check out our demo on [Hugging Face space](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Yehor/radtts-uk-vocos-demo) or just [listen to samples here](https://huggingface.co/spaces/speech-uk/listen-tts-voices).

## Features

- Multi-speaker model: 2 **female** (Tetiana, Lada) + 1 **male** (Mykyta) voices;
- Fine-grained control over speech parameters, including duration, fundamental frequency (F0), and energy;
- High-fidelity speech generation using the [RAD-TTS++](https://github.com/egorsmkv/radtts-uk) acoustic model;
- Fast vocoding using [Vocos](https://github.com/gemelo-ai/vocos);
- Synthesizes long sentences effectively;
- Supports a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz;
- Tested on Linux environments and **Windows**/**WSL**;
- Python API (requires Python 3.9 or later);
- CUDA-enabled for GPU acceleration.

## Installation

```shell
# Install from PyPI
pip install tts-uk

# OR, for the latest development version:
pip install git+https://github.com/egorsmkv/tts_uk

# OR, use git and local setup
git clone https://github.com/egorsmkv/tts_uk
cd tts_uk
uv sync # uv will handle the virtual environment
```

Read [uv's installation](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv?tab=readme-ov-file#installation) section.

Also, you can [download the repository](https://github.com/egorsmkv/tts_uk/archive/refs/heads/main.zip) as a ZIP archive.

## Getting started

Code example:

```python
import torchaudio

from tts_uk.inference import synthesis

sampling_rate = 44_100

# Perform the synthesis, `synthesis` function returns:
# - mels: Mel spectrograms of the generated audio.
# - wave: The synthesized waveform by a Vocoder as a PyTorch tensor.
# - stats: A dictionary containing synthesis statistics (processing time, duration, speech rate, etc).
mels, wave, stats = synthesis(
    text="Ви можете протестувати синтез мовлення українською мовою. Просто введіть текст, який ви хочете прослухати.",
    voice="tetiana",  # tetiana, mykyta, lada
    n_takes=1,
    use_latest_take=False,
    token_dur_scaling=1,
    f0_mean=0,
    f0_std=0,
    energy_mean=0,
    energy_std=0,
    sigma_decoder=0.8,
    sigma_token_duration=0.666,
    sigma_f0=1,
    sigma_energy=1,
)

print(stats)

# Save the generated audio to a WAV file.
torchaudio.save("audio.wav", wave.cpu(), sampling_rate, encoding="PCM_S")
```

Use these Google colabs:

- [CPU inference](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1dsQiVhTaNw5lRfUiCZeECMuEbtEEYqbZ?usp=sharing)
- [GPU inference](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1sdCPnZJRNAf12PhPut4gu6T_o6lYaUdo?usp=sharing) on T4 card (long document to synthesize)

Or run synthesis in a terminal:

```shell
uv run example.py
```

If you need to synthesize articles we recommend consider [wtpsplit](https://github.com/segment-any-text/wtpsplit).
