NOTE: In very early alpha stage.
TensorVox is an application designed to enable user-friendly and lightweight neural speech synthesis in the desktop, aimed at increasing accessibility to such technology.
Powered by TensorflowTTS, it is written in pure C++/Qt, using the Tensorflow C API for interacting with the models. This way, we can perform inference without having to install gigabytes worth of pip libraries, just a 100MB DLL.
- Download the program, and LJSpeech model
- Run.
Currently, only FastSpeech2 (phoneme-based) and Multi-Band MelGAN from TensorflowTTS are supported.
Currently, only Windows x64 is supported.
Requirements:
- Qt Creator
- MSVC 2017 (v141) compiler
Primed build (with all provided libraries):
- Download precompiled binary dependencies and includes
- Unzip it so that the
depsfolder is in the same place as the .pro and main source files. - Open the project with Qt Creator, add your compiler and compile
Note that to try your shiny new executable you'll need to download the program as described above and insert the models folder where your new build is output.
TODO: Add instructions for compile from scratch.
