# Few-Shot Voice Cloning

This repository is an implementation of the pipeline for few-short voice cloning based on SpeechT5 architecture introduced in [ SpeechT5: Unified-Modal Encoder-Decoder Pre-Training for Spoken Language Processing](https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.07205).
It is able to clone a voice from 15-30 seconds of audio recording in English (another languages are planned).

# Getting Started

Clone repository 
```angular2html
git clone https://github.com/konverner/deep-voice-cloning.git
```

Install the modules
```angular2html
pip install .
```

Run traning specifying arguments using config file `training_config.json` or the console command, for example
```angular2html
python scripts/train.py --audio_path scripts/input/hank.mp3 --output_dir /content/deep-voice-cloning/models
```
Resulting model will be saved in `output_dir` directory. It will be used in the next step.

Run inference specifying arguments using config file `inference_config.json` or the console command, for example
```angular2html
python scripts/cloning_inference.py --model_path "/content/deep-voice-cloning/models/microsoft_speecht5_tts_hank"\
--input_text 'do the things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard'\
--output_path "scripts/output/do_the_things.wav"
```

Resulting audio file will be saved as `output_path` file.
