The pre-trained model takes in input a short text and produces a spectrogram in output. One can get the final waveform by applying a vocoder (e.g., HiFIGAN) on top of the generated spectrogram.

Perform Text-to-Speech (TTS)

python

import torchaudio
from speechbrain.inference.TTS import Tacotron2
from speechbrain.inference.vocoders import HIFIGAN

# Intialize TTS (tacotron2) and Vocoder (HiFIGAN)
tacotron2 = Tacotron2.from_hparams(source="Sulaimank/tts-tacotron2-commonvoice-single-female", savedir="tmpdir_tts")
hifi_gan = HIFIGAN.from_hparams(source="Sulaimank/tts-hifigan-commonvoice-single-female", savedir="tmpdir_vocoder")

# Running the TTS
mel_output, mel_length, alignment = tacotron2.encode_text("Obwedda ndowooza wagenze.")

# Running Vocoder (spectrogram-to-waveform)
waveforms = hifi_gan.decode_batch(mel_output)

# Save the waverform
torchaudio.save('example_TTS.wav',waveforms.squeeze(1), 22050)
