## SpeechT5 TTS Manifest

| [**Github**](https://github.com/microsoft/SpeechT5) | [**Huggingface**](https://huggingface.co/mechanicalsea/speecht5-vc) |

This manifest is an attempt to recreate the Voice Conversion recipe used for training [SpeechT5](https://aclanthology.org/2022.acl-long.393). This manifest was constructed using [CMU ARCTIC](http://www.festvox.org/cmu_arctic/) four speakers, e.g., bdl, clb, rms, slt. There are 932 utterances for training, 100 utterances for validation, and 100 utterance for evaluation.

### Requirements

- [SpeechBrain](https://github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain) for extracting speaker embedding
- [Parallel WaveGAN](https://github.com/kan-bayashi/ParallelWaveGAN) for implementing vocoder.

### Tools

- [manifest/utils](./manifest/utils/) is used to extract speaker embedding, generate manifest, and apply vocoder.
- [manifest/arctic*](./manifest/) provides the pre-trained vocoder for each speaker.
