# tts_transformer-en-ljspeech

[Transformer](https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.08895) text-to-speech model from fairseq S^2 ([paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.06912)/[code](https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq/tree/main/examples/speech_synthesis)):
- English
- Single-speaker female voice
- Trained on [LJSpeech](https://keithito.com/LJ-Speech-Dataset/)

## Usage

```python
from fairseq.checkpoint_utils import load_model_ensemble_and_task_from_hf_hub
from fairseq.models.text_to_speech.hub_interface import TTSHubInterface
import IPython.display as ipd


models, cfg, task = load_model_ensemble_and_task_from_hf_hub(
    "facebook/tts_transformer-en-ljspeech",
    arg_overrides={"vocoder": "hifigan", "fp16": False}
)
model = models[0]
TTSHubInterface.update_cfg_with_data_cfg(cfg, task.data_cfg)
generator = task.build_generator(model, cfg)

text = "Hello, this is a test run."

sample = TTSHubInterface.get_model_input(task, text)
wav, rate = TTSHubInterface.get_prediction(task, model, generator, sample)

ipd.Audio(wav, rate=rate)
```
