Model Card for Indic-Mio
Indic-Mio is an open-source Text-to-Speech (TTS) model that supports all 22 scheduled Indian languages and English. Produces high-quality natural-sounding speech at 44kHz with less than 0.1 RTF. Zero-shot voice cloning supported via speaker embeddings in the codec. Also works well for code-mixed sentences.
This model is a fine-tuned version of Aratako/MioTTS-0.6B which uses MioCodec for speech tokenization.
Prompting
For emotion and style control, place the tags at the end of the sentence.
For example: मुझे यह फिल्म बहुत पसंद आई! <happy> or I am not sure if I can do this. <confused>
Tags for Indian languages: <happy>, <sad>, <angry>, <disgust>, <fear>, <surprise>
Tags for English: <happy>, <sad>, <enunciated>, <confused>, <angry>, <whisper>
A word can be stressed by using asterisks(*) around it. For example: No! I could *never* do it!
Inference
Approach 1: With MioTTS-Inference (recommended)
Install vllm and set up MioTTS-Inference.
vllm serve SPRINGLab/Indic-Mio --gpu-memory-utilization 0.5
cd MioTTS-Inference
python run_server.py
python run_gradio.py
Approach 2: Directly with Transformers
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
from miocodec import MioCodec
import numpy as np
import torch
model_name = "SPRINGLab/Indic-Mio"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_name, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="cuda"
)
text = "नमस्ते, आप कैसे हैं?"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": text}]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
output = model.generate(
**inputs,
max_new_tokens=1024,
temperature=0.9,
top_p=0.9,
)
generated = output[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[1]:]
speech_offset = 151669
audio_codes = [t.item() - speech_offset for t in generated
if speech_offset <= t.item() < speech_offset + 12800]
# Convert audio_codes by decoding with MioCodec
# audio_codes -> numpy array -> MioCodec decode -> wav
codec = MioCodec.from_pretrained("Aratako/MioCodec-25Hz-24kHz")
codes_tensor = torch.tensor([audio_codes], dtype=torch.long).unsqueeze(0) # [1, 1, T]
wav = codec.decode(codes_tensor) # -> [1, 1, num_samples]
import soundfile as sf
sf.write("output.wav", wav.squeeze().cpu().numpy(), 44100)
Training
This model was trained on a single NVIDIA A6000 ADA GPU in less than 6 hours.
For Indian languages, IndicTTS, Rasa and Syspin datasets were used. For American English, LibriTTS and Expresso, while for Indian English, SPICOR dataset was used.
Fine-tuning
This model is robust yet flexible. You can fine-tune it on your own dataset for better performance on specific languages, accents, speakers, styles or emotions. Just a few steps of LoRA fine-tuning can significantly improve the performance for your target task.
