ESPnet is an end-to-end speech processing toolkit, mainly focuses on end-to-end speech recognition and end-to-end text-to-speech. ESPnet uses chainer and pytorch as a main deep learning engine, and also follows Kaldi style data processing, feature extraction/format, and recipes to provide a complete setup for speech recognition and other speech processing experiments.

TTS demo

ESPnet2

You can try the real-time demo in Google Colab. Please access the notebook from the following button and enjoy the real-time synthesis!

  • Real-time TTS demo with ESPnet2 Open In Colab

English, Japanese, and Mandarin models are available in the demo.

ESPnet1

You can try the real-time demo in Google Colab. Please access the notebook from the following button and enjoy the real-time synthesis.

  • Real-time TTS demo with ESPnet1 Open In Colab

We also provide shell script to perform synthesize. Go to a recipe directory and run utils/synth_wav.sh as follows:

# go to recipe directory and source path of espnet tools
cd egs/ljspeech/tts1 && . ./path.sh
# we use upper-case char sequence for the default model.
echo "THIS IS A DEMONSTRATION OF TEXT TO SPEECH." > example.txt
# let's synthesize speech!
synth_wav.sh example.txt

# also you can use multiple sentences
echo "THIS IS A DEMONSTRATION OF TEXT TO SPEECH." > example_multi.txt
echo "TEXT TO SPEECH IS A TECHQNIQUE TO CONVERT TEXT INTO SPEECH." >> example_multi.txt
synth_wav.sh example_multi.txt

You can change the pretrained model as follows:

synth_wav.sh --models ljspeech.fastspeech.v1 example.txt

Waveform synthesis is performed with Griffin-Lim algorithm and neural vocoders (WaveNet and ParallelWaveGAN). You can change the pretrained vocoder model as follows:

synth_wav.sh --vocoder_models ljspeech.wavenet.mol.v1 example.txt

WaveNet vocoder provides very high quality speech but it takes time to generate.

See more details or available models via --help.

VC results

expand
  • Transformer and Tacotron2 based VC

You can listen to some samples on the demo webpage.

  • Cascade ASR+TTS as one of the baseline systems of VCC2020

The Voice Conversion Challenge 2020 (VCC2020) adopts ESPnet to build an end-to-end based baseline system. In VCC2020, the objective is intra/cross lingual nonparallel VC. You can download converted samples of the cascade ASR+TTS baseline system here.

CTC Segmentation demo

expand

CTC segmentation determines utterance segments within audio files. Aligned utterance segments constitute the labels of speech datasets.

As demo, we align start and end of utterances within the audio file ctc_align_test.wav, using the example script utils/ctc_align_wav.sh. For preparation, set up a data directory:

cd egs/tedlium2/align1/
# data directory
align_dir=data/demo
mkdir -p ${align_dir}
# wav file
base=ctc_align_test
wav=../../../test_utils/${base}.wav
# recipe files
echo "batchsize: 0" > ${align_dir}/align.yaml

cat << EOF > ${align_dir}/utt_text
${base} THE SALE OF THE HOTELS
${base} IS PART OF HOLIDAY'S STRATEGY
${base} TO SELL OFF ASSETS
${base} AND CONCENTRATE
${base} ON PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
EOF

Here, utt_text is the file containing the list of utterances. Choose a pre-trained ASR model that includes a CTC layer to find utterance segments:

# pre-trained ASR model
model=wsj.transformer_small.v1
mkdir ./conf && cp ../../wsj/asr1/conf/no_preprocess.yaml ./conf

../../../utils/asr_align_wav.sh \
    --models ${model} \
    --align_dir ${align_dir} \
    --align_config ${align_dir}/align.yaml \
    ${wav} ${align_dir}/utt_text

Segments are written to aligned_segments as a list of file/utterance name, utterance start and end times in seconds and a confidence score. The confidence score is a probability in log space that indicates how good the utterance was aligned. If needed, remove bad utterances:

min_confidence_score=-5
awk -v ms=${min_confidence_score} '{ if ($5 > ms) {print} }' ${align_dir}/aligned_segments

The demo script utils/ctc_align_wav.sh uses an already pretrained ASR model (see list above for more models). It is recommended to use models with RNN-based encoders (such as BLSTMP) for aligning large audio files; rather than using Transformer models that have a high memory consumption on longer audio data. The sample rate of the audio must be consistent with that of the data used in training; adjust with sox if needed. A full example recipe is in egs/tedlium2/align1/.
