isiXhosa TTS — reference audio and training samples
Two very different kinds of audio live here. Check the folder before judging anything.
| folder | what it is | source |
|---|---|---|
speakers/ |
REAL HUMAN speech — 20 s excerpts of ViXSD readers, for choosing a voice | ViXSD recordings |
samples_vixsd/ |
MODEL OUTPUT — what the VITS model generates at a given training step | generated |
speakers/ — ground truth
male_xho_reader_008_20s.wav etc. Excerpts taken from the middle of each
reader's longest recording, not the start, so you hear steady-state delivery.
These are the target the model is trying to imitate — not model output.
samples_vixsd/ — training progress
step_NNNNNNN.wav is the model's rendering of one fixed sentence at that
training step:
Molo, ndicofa phi xa ndirhalela iqanda eliqhekekileyo?
It exercises all three isiXhosa click letters — c (ndicofa), q (iqanda,
eliqhekekileyo) and x (xa).
Every file currently in this folder is speaker id 4 (xho_reader_005).
Files written from now on carry the speaker in the name
(step_NNNNNNN_spkN.wav), because id 4 turned out to be the wrong default:
it has the most audio (108.9 min) but the worst signal-to-noise in the corpus,
about 18 dB against 43-66 dB for the others. It is quiet and noisy, which is
why step_0008000.wav sounds distorted.
The default is now id 7 (xho_reader_008) — male, 38.7 min, 66 dB SNR,
the cleanest voice available.
Expected progression
| step | expect |
|---|---|
| 0 | noise (random init) |
| 2,000 | speech rhythm, no words |
| ~8,000 | words forming, clicks audible, still rough |
| 20,000+ | clearer, less robotic |
Judge quality against speakers/, not against commercial TTS: the model trains
on 7.4 h, where VITS's reference corpus LJSpeech has ~24 h.
