Parakeet aims to provide a flexible, efficient, and state-of-the-art text-to-speech toolkit for the open-source community. It is built on PaddlePaddle dynamic graph and includes many influential TTS models.
To facilitate exploiting the existing TTS models directly and developing the new ones, Parakeet selects typical models and provides their reference implementations in PaddlePaddle. Furthermore, Parakeet abstracts the TTS pipeline and standardizes the procedure of data preprocessing, common modules sharing, model configuration, and the process of training and synthesis. The models supported here include Text FrontEnd, end-to-end Acoustic models, and Vocoders:
