TensorFlow implementation of:

Prerequisites

Usage

1. Install prerequisites

After preparing Tensorflow, install prerequisites with:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

If you want to synthesize a speech in Korean dicrectly, follow 2-3. Download pre-trained models.

2-1. Generate custom datasets

The datasets directory should look like:

datasets
├── jtbc
│   ├── alignment.json
│   └── audio
│       ├── 1.mp3
│       ├── 2.mp3
│       ├── 3.mp3
│       └── ...
└── YOUR_DATASET
    ├── alignment.json
    └── audio
        ├── 1.mp3
        ├── 2.mp3
        ├── 3.mp3
        └── ...

and YOUR_DATASET/alignment.json should look like:

{
    "./datasets/YOUR_DATASET/audio/001.mp3": "My name is Taehoon Kim.",
    "./datasets/YOUR_DATASET/audio/002.mp3": "The buses aren't the problem.",
    "./datasets/YOUR_DATASET/audio/003.mp3": "They have discovered a new particle.",
}

After you prepare as described, you should genearte preprocessed data with:

python -m datasets.generate_data ./datasets/YOUR_DATASET/alignment.json

2-2. Generate Korean datasets

You can generate datasets for 3 public Korean figures including:

  1. Sohn Suk-hee: anchor and president of JTBC
  2. Park Geun-hye: a former President of South Korea
  3. Moon Jae-in: the current President of South Korea

Each dataset can be generated with following scripts:

./scripts/prepare_son.sh # Sohn Suk-hee
./scripts/prepare_park.sh # Park Geun-hye
./scripts/prepare_moon.sh # Moon Jae-in

Each script execute below commands. (explain with son dataset)

  1. To automate an alignment between sounds and texts, prepare GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to use Google Speech Recognition API. To get credentials, read this.

    export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="YOUR-GOOGLE.CREDENTIALS.json"
    
  2. Download speech(or video) and text.

    python -m datasets.son.download
    
  3. Segment all audios on silence.

    python -m audio.silence --audio_pattern "./datasets/son/audio/*.wav" --method=pydub
    
  4. By using Google Speech Recognition API, we predict sentences for all segmented audios. (this is optional for moon and park because they already have recognition.json)

    python -m recognition.google --audio_pattern "./datasets/son/audio/*.*.wav"
    
  5. By comparing original text and recognised text, save audio<->text pair information into ./datasets/son/alignment.json.

    python -m recognition.alignment --recognition_path "./datasets/son/recognition.json" --score_threshold=0.5
    
  6. Finally, generated numpy files which will be used in training.

    python3 -m datasets.generate_data ./datasets/son/alignment.json
    

Because the automatic generation is extremely naive, the dataset is noisy. However, if you have enough datasets (20+ hours with random initialization or 5+ hours with pretrained model initialization), you can expect an acceptable quality of audio synthesis.

2-3. Download pre-trained models

You can download a pre-trained models or generate audio. Available models are:

  1. Single speaker model for Sohn Suk-hee.

    python3 download.py son
    
  2. Single speaker model for Park Geun-hye.

    python3 download.py park
    

After you donwload pre-trained models, you can generate voices as follows:

python3 synthesizer.py --load_path logs/son-20171015 --text "이거 실화냐?"
python3 synthesizer.py --load_path logs/park-20171015 --text "이거 실화냐?"

WARNING: The two pre-trained models are being made available for research purpose only.

3. Train a model

To train a single-speaker model:

python train.py --data_path=datasets/jtbc
python train.py --data_path=datasets/park --initialize_path=PATH_TO_CHECKPOINT

To train a multi-speaker model:

python train.py --data_path=datasets/jtbc,datasets/park

If you don't have good and enough (10+ hours) dataset, it would be better to use --initialize_path to use a well-trained model as initial parameters.

4. Synthesize audio

You can train your own models with:

python3 app.py --load_path logs/park-20171015 --num_speakers=1

or generate audio directly with:

python3 synthesizer.py --load_path logs/park-20171015 --text "이거 실화냐?"
