# Tacotron 2 with Guided Attention trained on Synpaflex (Fr)
This repository provides a pretrained [Tacotron2](https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.05884) trained with [Guided Attention](https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.08969) on Synpaflex dataset (Fr). For a detail of the model, we encourage you to read more about
[TensorFlowTTS](https://github.com/TensorSpeech/TensorFlowTTS). 


## Install TensorFlowTTS
First of all, please install TensorFlowTTS with the following command:
```
pip install TensorFlowTTS
```

### Converting your Text to Mel Spectrogram
```python
import numpy as np
import soundfile as sf
import yaml

import tensorflow as tf

from tensorflow_tts.inference import AutoProcessor
from tensorflow_tts.inference import TFAutoModel

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("tensorspeech/tts-tacotron2-synpaflex-fr")
tacotron2 = TFAutoModel.from_pretrained("tensorspeech/tts-tacotron2-synpaflex-fr")

text = "Oh, je voudrais tant que tu te souviennes Des jours heureux quand nous étions amis"

input_ids = processor.text_to_sequence(text)

decoder_output, mel_outputs, stop_token_prediction, alignment_history = tacotron2.inference(
    input_ids=tf.expand_dims(tf.convert_to_tensor(input_ids, dtype=tf.int32), 0),
    input_lengths=tf.convert_to_tensor([len(input_ids)], tf.int32),
    speaker_ids=tf.convert_to_tensor([0], dtype=tf.int32),
)

```
