# Vocoder with HiFIGAN Unit trained on LJSpeech

This repository provides all the necessary tools for using a [HiFiGAN Unit](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.00355) vocoder trained with [LJSpeech](https://keithito.com/LJ-Speech-Dataset/). 

The pre-trained model take as input discrete self-supervised representations and produces a waveform as output. Typically, this model is utilized on top of a speech-to-unit translation model that converts an input utterance from a source language into a sequence of discrete speech units in a target language.  
To generate the discrete self-supervised representations, we employ a K-means clustering model trained on the 6th layer of HuBERT, with `k=100`.

## Install SpeechBrain

First of all, please install tranformers and SpeechBrain with the following command:

```
pip install speechbrain transformers
```

Please notice that we encourage you to read our tutorials and learn more about
[SpeechBrain](https://speechbrain.github.io).


### Using the Vocoder

```python
import torch
from speechbrain.pretrained import UnitHIFIGAN

hifi_gan_unit = UnitHIFIGAN.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/tts-hifigan-unit-hubert-l6-k100-ljspeech", savedir="tmpdir_vocoder")
codes = torch.randint(0, 99, (100,))
waveform = hifi_gan_unit.decode_unit(codes)

```

### Using the Vocoder with the S2UT
```python
import torch
import torchaudio
from speechbrain.pretrained import EncoderDecoderS2UT
from speechbrain.pretrained import UnitHIFIGAN

# Intialize S2UT (Transformer) and Vocoder (HiFIGAN Unit)
s2ut = EncoderDecoderS2UT.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/s2st-transformer-fr-en-hubert-l6-k100-cvss", savedir="tmpdir_s2ut")
hifi_gan_unit = UnitHIFIGAN.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/tts-hifigan-unit-hubert-l6-k100-ljspeech", savedir="tmpdir_vocoder")

# Running the S2UT model
codes = s2ut.translate_file("speechbrain/s2st-transformer-fr-en-hubert-l6-k100-cvss/example-fr.wav")
codes = torch.IntTensor(codes)

# Running Vocoder (units-to-waveform)
waveforms = hifi_gan_unit.decode_unit(codes)

# Save the waverform
torchaudio.save('example.wav',waveforms.squeeze(1), 16000)
```

### Inference on GPU
To perform inference on the GPU, add  `run_opts={"device":"cuda"}`  when calling the `from_hparams` method.


### Limitations
The SpeechBrain team does not provide any warranty on the performance achieved by this model when used on other datasets.
