ChatTTS is a text-to-speech model designed specifically for dialogue scenarios such as LLM assistant.

• English
• Chinese
• Coming Soon...

You can refer to this video on Bilibili for the detailed description.

1. Conversational TTS: ChatTTS is optimized for dialogue-based tasks, enabling natural and expressive speech synthesis. It supports multiple speakers, facilitating interactive conversations.
2. Fine-grained Control: The model could predict and control fine-grained prosodic features, including laughter, pauses, and interjections.
3. Better Prosody: ChatTTS surpasses most of open-source TTS models in terms of prosody. We provide pretrained models to support further research and development.

• The main model is trained with Chinese and English audio data of 100,000+ hours.
• The open-source version on HuggingFace is a 40,000 hours pre-trained model without SFT.

• Open-source the 40k hour base model and spk_stats file
• Open-source VQ encoder and Lora training code
• Streaming audio generation without refining the text*
• Open-source the 40k hour version with multi-emotion control
• ChatTTS.cpp maybe? (PR or new repo are welcomed.)

ChatTTS is a powerful text-to-speech system. However, it is very important to utilize this technology responsibly and ethically. To limit the use of ChatTTS, we added a small amount of high-frequency noise during the training of the 40,000-hour model, and compressed the audio quality as much as possible using MP3 format, to prevent malicious actors from potentially using it for criminal purposes. At the same time, we have internally trained a detection model and plan to open-source it in the future.

GitHub issues/PRs are always welcomed.

For a 30-second audio clip, at least 4GB of GPU memory is required. For the 4090 GPU, it can generate audio corresponding to approximately 7 semantic tokens per second. The Real-Time Factor (RTF) is around 0.3.

This is a problem that typically occurs with autoregressive models (for bark and valle). It's generally difficult to avoid. One can try multiple samples to find a suitable result.

In the current released model, the only token-level control units are [laugh], [uv_break], and [lbreak]. In future versions, we may open-source models with additional emotional control capabilities.

• bark, XTTSv2 and valle demostrate a remarkable TTS result by an autoregressive-style system.
• fish-speech reveals capability of GVQ as audio tokenizer for LLM modeling.
• vocos which is used as a pretrained vocoder.

• wlu-audio lab for early algorithm experiments.
