This example contains code used to train a [Fastspeech2](https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.04558) model with [LJSpeech-1.1](https://keithito.com/LJ-Speech-Dataset/).
## Dataset
### Download and Extract the datasaet
Download LJSpeech-1.1 from the [official website](https://keithito.com/LJ-Speech-Dataset/).
### Get MFA result of LJSpeech-1.1 and Extract it
We use [MFA](https://github.com/MontrealCorpusTools/Montreal-Forced-Aligner) to get durations for fastspeech2.
You can download from here [ljspeech_alignment.tar.gz](https://paddlespeech.bj.bcebos.com/MFA/LJSpeech-1.1/ljspeech_alignment.tar.gz), or train your own MFA model reference to [use_mfa example](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Parakeet/tree/develop/examples/use_mfa) of our repo.
When it is done. A `dump` folder is created in the current directory. The structure of the dump folder is listed below.
```text
dump
├── dev
│ ├── norm
│ └── raw
├── phone_id_map.txt
├── speaker_id_map.txt
├── test
│ ├── norm
│ └── raw
└── train
├── energy_stats.npy
├── norm
├── pitch_stats.npy
├── raw
└── speech_stats.npy
```
The dataset is split into 3 parts, namely `train`, `dev` and` test`, each of which contains a `norm` and `raw` sub folder. The raw folder contains speech、pitch and energy features of each utterances, while the norm folder contains normalized ones. The statistics used to normalize features are computed from the training set, which is located in `dump/train/*_stats.npy`.
Also there is a `metadata.jsonl` in each subfolder. It is a table-like file which contains phones, text_lengths, speech_lengths, durations, path of speech features, path of pitch features, path of energy features, speaker and id of each utterance.
We use [parallel wavegan](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Parakeet/tree/develop/examples/parallelwave_gan/ljspeech/) as the neural vocoder.
Download pretrained parallel wavegan model from [pwg_ljspeech_ckpt_0.5.zip](https://paddlespeech.bj.bcebos.com/Parakeet/pwg_ljspeech_ckpt_0.5.zip) and unzip it.
--pwg-stat PWG_STAT mean and standard deviation used to normalize
spectrogram when training parallel wavegan.
--phones-dict PHONES_DICT
phone vocabulary file.
--text TEXT text to synthesize, a 'utt_id sentence' pair per line.
--output-dir OUTPUT_DIR
output dir.
--device DEVICE device type to use.
--verbose VERBOSE verbose.
```
1.`--fastspeech2-config`, `--fastspeech2-checkpoint`, `--fastspeech2-stat` and `--phones-dict` are arguments for fastspeech2, which correspond to the 4 files in the fastspeech2 pretrained model.
2.`--pwg-config`, `--pwg-checkpoint`, `--pwg-stat` are arguments for parallel wavegan, which correspond to the 3 files in the parallel wavegan pretrained model.
3.`--test-metadata` should be the metadata file in the normalized subfolder of `test` in the `dump` folder.
4.`--text` is the text file, which contains sentences to synthesize.
5.`--output-dir` is the directory to save synthesized audio files.
6.`--device is` the type of device to run synthesis, 'cpu' and 'gpu' are supported. 'gpu' is recommended for faster synthesis.
