VoxCPM-1.5B-HI-LORA

The TTS model was trained with the ai4bharat/indicvoices_r dataset on the hindi subset where the audio clips are between 4-12s after resampling to 44.1Khz. Did try to keep the male and audio data to about 50%. (Roughly 32 hours) I think more data is required for better accuracy. Voice cloning might feel a bit less accurate if you try to generate longer audio sequence which is expected as the input data is maximum 12s. Checkpoint at iteration 8000 (Was not seeing much improvement and since, this is just an experimentation, didn't go further)

Device: NVIDIA RTX4070 Super 12GB

How-tos

Finetune a LoRa:

Follow the original guide here

We have trained text embedding layers as well apart from the lora guide mentioned there. Full finetuning should generally give better results

Inference:

Setup:

bash

git clone https://github.com/OpenBMB/VoxCPM.git
cd VoxCPM
# recommended to use a virtual environment
pip install voxcpm
# for voice cloning, I have to install torchcodec.
pip install torchcodec==0.9

[!WARNING] Make sure torchcodec compatible with Pytoch & Python. You can check compatibility here

Download this checkpoint, I recommended using some lines of Python code:

python

from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
snapshot_download("openbmb/VoxCPM1.5", local_dir="./pretrained/VoxCPM-1.5")
snapshot_download("darknight054/VoxCPM-1.5B-HI-LORA", local_dir="./pretrained/VoxCPM-1.5B-HI-LORA")

Once done, you will get the lora_config.json in there which will have a key called base_model, here set the absolute path to the directory you download the base model.

Inferences with the checkpoints:

bash

python scripts/test_voxcpm_lora_infer.py \
    --ckpt_dir  ./pretrained/VoxCPM-1.5B-HI-LORA \
    --text "किताबों के अलावा ऐसे कई पत्रिका ब्लॉग या समाचार पत्र हैं जिसे हम पढ़ते हैं" \
    --prompt_audio /path/to/reference.wav \
    --prompt_text "Reference audio transcript (hindi)" \
    --output cloned_output.wav
