🚀 Quick Start Guides

Option 1: Coqui TTS

Coqui TTS is a state-of-the-art deep learning toolkit for Text-to-Speech with excellent Turkish support and 1100+ language models.

pip install TTS

Running a multi-speaker and multi-lingual model

import torch
from TTS.api import TTS

# Get device
device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"

# List available 🐸TTS models
print(TTS().list_models())

# Init TTS
tts = TTS("tts_models/multilingual/multi-dataset/xtts_v2").to(device)

# Run TTS
# ❗ Since this model is multi-lingual voice cloning model, we must set the target speaker_wav and language
# Text to speech list of amplitude values as output
wav = tts.tts(text="Merhaba", speaker_wav="my/cloning/audio.wav", language="tr")
# Text to speech to a file
tts.tts_to_file(text="Merhaba", speaker_wav="my/cloning/audio.wav", language="tr", file_path="output.wav")

Option 2: Facebook mms-tts

This model is part of Facebook's Massively Multilingual Speech project, aiming to provide speech technology across a diverse range of languages. You can find more details about the supported languages and their ISO 639-3 codes in the MMS Language Coverage Overview, and see all MMS-TTS checkpoints on the Hugging Face Hub: facebook/mms-tts.

Running MMS-TTS inference in Colab

In this notebook, we give an example on how to run Turkish text-to-speech inference using MMS TTS models.

By default, we run inference on a GPU.

1. Installs necessary python packages for the other sections.
2. Choose a language or and download Turkish checkpoint. (Find the ISO code for your target language here.)
3. Load the checkpoint.
4. Specify the sentence you want to synthesize and generate the audio.
