Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

WhisperSpeech – An Open Source text-to-speech system built by inverting Whisper
You might check out this list from espnet. They list the different corpuses they use to train their models sorted by language and task (ASR, TTS etc):

High quality, fast performing, local text to speech generation
This link has instructions for doing this for a Japanese model. It would have to be altered to work with ljspeech and the fine tune dataset.

Text to speech generation
This work is made possible by the excellent advancements in text to speech modeling. ESPnet is a great project and should be checked out for more advanced and a wider range of use cases. This pipeline was also made possible by the great work from espnet_onnx in building a framework to export models to ONNX.

[P] TorToiSe - a true zero-shot multi-voice TTS engine
CMU WavLab has ESPNet https://espnet.github.io/espnet/ which includes a number of high quality TTS models including VITS (which in my subjective experience is just as good as what is demonstrated here). Also the inference on various ESPNet pretrained TTS models is reasonable and sentences take on average 5 seconds per word to generate the waveform on my totally mid PC setup.

How to get Job in NLP?
The reason I'm saying this is to point out that having and in-depth knowledge on speech processing/generation requires a lot of information about signal processing and human speech in general (eg. acoustics and phonetics). However, if you're not into learning everything there is to know about a subject, just take one state-of-the-art example and study that as best as you can. Pick one environment/toolkit, for example espnet and simply go with that.

speechbrain VS espnet - a user suggested alternative
2 projects | 13 Oct 2021
both provide e2e ASR support but espnet does have more utilities where as speechbarain is clean

Need help with training ASR model from scratch.
This is relatively small amount of speech to train the model from scratch, but you can train using another pre-trained model for initialization. There are numbers of end-to-end ASR toolkits which can be used for this: https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo and https://github.com/espnet/espnet

- [D] What is the best open source text to speech model?
- A thought: we need language and voice synthesis models as free as Stable Diffusion

Ask HN: Best FOSS software to read text allowed
If you want free (as open source) software, the NVIDIA research GitHub also has some good tools. For example : https://github.com/NVIDIA/flowtron

Bastila Shan reads the Sith and Jedi Codes
The voicelines in this video was created using a Flowtron Text-to-Speech (TTS) model trained on Bastila's voice patterns to read the Sith and Jedi Codes. For more information: https://github.com/NVIDIA/flowtron I created a small tutorial for how to use it on Google Colab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Bmg1c5U5Bg
