## RyanSpeech model (based on ESPnet2)

### `espnet/english_male_ryanspeech_fastspeech2`
This model was trained by [Rohola Zandie](https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=xv0jIe0AAAAJ&hl=en) using ryanspeech recipe in [espnet](https://github.com/espnet/espnet/). For the best results you need to download the vocoder separately from [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/10GYvB_mIKzXzSjD67tSnBhknZRoBjsNb/view?usp=sharing) and then use the following code:

```

from espnet2.bin.tts_inference import Text2Speech
from scipy.io.wavfile import write

model = Text2Speech.from_pretrained(
    model_file="espnet/english_male_ryanspeech_fastspeech2",
    vocoder_file="path_to_vocoder/train_nodev_parallel_wavegan.v1.long/checkpoint-1000000steps.pkl"
)

output = model("This is a simple test.")

write("x.wav", 22050, output['wav'].numpy())
```
