FastSpeech2 VS NeMo

FastSpeech2 submitted: Jun 8, 2020 paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.04558.pdf github: https://github.com/ming024/FastSpeech2 (Not the official implementation but is the once cited the most)

We have the TorToiSe repo, the SV2TTS repo, and from here you have the other models like Tacotron 2, FastSpeech 2, and such. A there is a lot that goes into training a baseline for these models on the LJSpeech and LibriTTS datasets. Fine tuning is left up to the user.

As for synthesis of text using your own voice - you can dig into Real Time Voice Cloning or maybe FastSpeech2, but I am not sure if you can use it with conlangs (and because of ML nature, you need many, many, many training data to get anything interesting).

I don't test WaveRNN but from the ones that I know the best that is open source is FastPitch. And it's easy to use, here is the tutorial for voice cloning.

Nowadays... bigger repos like https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo are all pytorch, lots of work also published by Meta and Microsoft is all torch. I check new work on GitHub all the time and I haven't seen a Tensorflow repo in years except one.

Can’t you use the NeMo model and just strip the punctuation from the output again if you don’t want it? You can also fine tune the the model with capitalization only if you look at the examples https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo/blob/stable/tutorials/nlp/Punctuation_and_Capitalization.ipynb The capitalization and punctuation are annotated separately (U indicates that the word should be upper cased, and O - no capitalization ). The model seems to be a token level classifier not seq to seq so there should also be a way to get just the capitalization part but you would have to look into the model as it’s not shown in the examples.

I think there's been talk to do speaker diarization with whisper-asr-webservice[0] which is also written in python and should be able to make use of goodies such as pyannote-audio, py-webrtcvad, etc.

Whisper is great but at the point we get to kludging various things together it starts to make more sense to use something like Nvidia NeMo[1] which was built with all of this in mind and more

The final security grain was added with speech-to-text anti-spoofing built on QuartzNet from the Nemo framework. This model provides a decent quality user experience and is suitable for real-time scenarios. To measure how close what the person says to what the system expects, requires calculation of the Levenshtein distance between them.
