TransformerTTS with LJSpeech

Dataset

Download the datasaet

wget https://data.keithito.com/data/speech/LJSpeech-1.1.tar.bz2

Extract the dataset

tar xjvf LJSpeech-1.1.tar.bz2

Get Started

Assume the path to the dataset is ~/datasets/LJSpeech-1.1. Run the command below to

1. source path.
2. preprocess the dataset,
3. train the model.
4. synthesize wavs.
   • synthesize waveform from metadata.jsonl.
   • synthesize waveform from text file.

./run.sh

Preprocess the dataset

./local/preprocess.sh ${conf_path}

When it is done. A dump folder is created in the current directory. The structure of the dump folder is listed below.

dump
├── dev
│ ├── norm
│ └── raw
├── phone_id_map.txt
├── speaker_id_map.txt
├── test
│  ├── norm
│  └── raw
└── train
    ├── norm
    ├── 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 feature 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/speech_stats.npy.

Also there is a metadata.jsonl in each subfolder. It is a table-like file which contains phones, text_lengths, speech_lengths, path of speech features, speaker and id of each utterance.

Train the model

./local/train.sh calls ${BIN_DIR}/train.py.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${gpus} ./local/train.sh ${conf_path} ${train_output_path}

Here's the complete help message.
