Usage
Without Installation
An unofficial live demo is hosted on Hugging Face Spaces.
Use it on MyShell
There are hundreds of TTS models on MyShell, much more than MeloTTS. See examples here. More can be found at the widget center of MyShell.ai.
Install and Use Locally
Follow the installation steps here before using the following snippet:
from melo.api import TTS
# Speed is adjustable
speed = 1.0
# CPU is sufficient for real-time inference.
# You can set it manually to 'cpu' or 'cuda' or 'cuda:0' or 'mps'
device = 'auto' # Will automatically use GPU if available
# English
text = "Did you ever hear a folk tale about a giant turtle?"
model = TTS(language='EN_V2', device=device)
speaker_ids = model.hps.data.spk2id
# American accent
output_path = 'en-us.wav'
model.tts_to_file(text, speaker_ids['EN-US'], output_path, speed=speed)
# British accent
output_path = 'en-br.wav'
model.tts_to_file(text, speaker_ids['EN-BR'], output_path, speed=speed)
# Indian accent
output_path = 'en-india.wav'
model.tts_to_file(text, speaker_ids['EN_INDIA'], output_path, speed=speed)
# Australian accent
output_path = 'en-au.wav'
model.tts_to_file(text, speaker_ids['EN-AU'], output_path, speed=speed)
# Default accent
output_path = 'en-default.wav'
model.tts_to_file(text, speaker_ids['EN-Default'], output_path, speed=speed)
