This repository provides a collection of widely popular text-to-speech (TTS) models in TensorFlow Lite (TFLite). These models primarily come from two repositories - TTS and TensorFlowTTS. We provide end-to-end Colab Notebooks that show the model conversion and inference process using TFLite. This includes converting PyTorch models to TFLite as well.

TTS is a two-step process - first you generate a MEL spectrogram using a TTS model and then you pass it to a VOCODER for generating the audio waveform. We include both of these models inside this repository.

Note that these models are trained on LJSpeech dataset.

Here’s a sample result (with Fastspeech2 and MelGAN) for the text “Bill got in the habit of asking himself".

Models Included

In the future, we may add more models.

*Currently, conversion of the Glow TTS model is unavailable (refer to the issue here).

Currently, Forward Tacotron only supports ONNX Conversion. There is a problem while converting to TensorFlow Graph Format. (Refer to this issue for more details).

Notes:

  • Training data used for HiFi-GAN (MEL spectogram generation) is different w.r.t other models like Tacotron2, FastSpech2. So it is not compatible with the other architectures available inside this repo.
  • If you want to use HiFi-GAN in end-to-end scenario you can refer to this notebook. In future we are planning to make it compatible with other architectures and add it in our end-to-end notebook. Stay tuned!

About the Notebooks

  • End_to_End_TTS.ipynb: This notebook allows you to load up different TTS and VOCODER models (enlisted above) and to perform inference.
  • MelGAN_TFLite.ipynb: Shows the model conversion process of MelGAN.
  • Parallel_WaveGAN_TFLite.ipynb: Shows the model conversion process of Parallel WaveGAN.
  • HiFi-GAN.ipynb: Shows the model conversion process of HiFi-GAN.
  • Forward_Tacotron_PyTorch_TFLite.ipynb : Converts Forward Tacotron model to ONNX. In future it will be updated to support TFLite conversion.

Model conversion processes for Tacotron2, Fastspeech2, and Multi-Band MelGAN are available via the following notebooks:

Model Benchmarks

After converting to TFLite, we used the Benchmark tool in order to report performance metrics of the various models such as inference latency, peak memory usage. We used Redmi K20 for this purpose. For all the experiments we kept the number of threads to one and we used the CPU of Redmi K20 and no other hardware accelerator.

Model Quantization Model Size (MB) Average Inference Latency (sec) Memory Footprint (MB)
Parallel WaveGAN Dynamic-range 5.7 0.04 31.5
Parallel WaveGAN Float16 3.2 0.05 34
MelGAN Dynamic-range 17 0.51 81
MelGAN Float16 8.3 0.52 89
MB MelGAN Dynamic-range 17 0.02 17
HiFi-GAN Dynamic-range 3.5 0.0015 9.88
HiFi-GAN Float16 2.9 0.0036 20.3
Tacotron2 Dynamic-range 30.1 1.66 75
Fastspeech2 Dynamic-range 30 0.11 55

Notes:

  • All the models above support dynamic shaped inputs. However, benchmarking dynamic input size MelGAN models is not currently supported. So to benchmark those models we used inputs of shape (100, 80).
  • Similary for Fastspeech2 benchmarking dynamic input size model is erroring out. So to benchmark we used inputs of shape (1, 50) where 50 represents number of tokens. This issue thread provides more details.
