FastSpeech2 VS tacotron2

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).

Which might use https://github.com/NVIDIA/tacotron2 in their backend

One thing is uberduck.ai but I think it's freemium (it's free but some features are premium). There's also tacotron 2.0 and its pytorch page. Many other softwares on sub but tacotron gave this and this and this.

Maybe we can use AI to hear this rapped by a famous rapper?

Sadly GothicBot the TTS I knew, doesn't exist anymore, but here is an alternative. It works in polish from what I heard.

From what I’ve seen, NVIDIA’s Tacotron2 can already be used to create some pretty convincing singing.

You might want to try something like Tacotron 2 by Nvidia to experiment with your current data.

I had tried tacotron2 + waveglow and it's quite easy to get very good results. The hardest part is collecting clean data.
