The
tortoise-tts-ruslan model is a tortoise model capable of speaking Russian language.
The model was first finetuned on public_youtube700_val+buriy_audiobooks_2_val from
Russian Open Speech To Text.
The model was then finetuned on
RUSLAN: Russian Spoken Language Corpus For Speech Synthesis.
The model is able to generate generic male voices, see
examples.
Additionally, the model is suitable for further finetuning on any Russian male voice, e.g. see a
finetuned voice of Yury Dud (the finetuned model weights are not included).
The code from
ai-voice-cloning was used to train the model.
