GPT-SoVITS-WebUI
What is the project about?
GPT-SoVITS-WebUI is a powerful web-based tool for voice conversion and text-to-speech (TTS) that leverages few-shot learning. It allows users to clone voices with minimal audio data and generate speech in multiple languages.
What problem does it solve?
The project addresses the need for high-quality, personalized voice cloning and TTS with limited training data. Traditional methods often require large datasets, making it difficult for individuals or small projects to create custom voices. GPT-SoVITS-WebUI simplifies this process, enabling voice cloning and TTS with just a few seconds of audio. It also solves the problem of cross-lingual speech synthesis.
What are the features of the project?
- Zero-shot TTS: Convert text to speech using a voice cloned from a short (5-second) audio sample.
- Few-shot TTS: Fine-tune the model with minimal training data (about 1 minute) to improve voice similarity and realism.
- Cross-lingual Support: Generate speech in English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Cantonese, even if the training data is in a different language.
- WebUI Tools: Includes integrated tools for:
- Voice/accompaniment separation (using UVR5).
- Automatic training set segmentation.
- Chinese Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR).
- English and Japanese ASR (using Faster Whisper).
- Text labeling.
What are the technologies used in the project?
- Python: The primary programming language.
- PyTorch: Deep learning framework.
- GPT: (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) models for text generation and few-shot learning.
- SoVITS: Singing Voice Conversion, adapted for speech.
- VITS: Variational Inference with adversarial learning for end-to-end Text-to-Speech.
- ContentVec: For extracting speech content representations.
- BigVGAN: Vocoder for high-fidelity audio generation.
- FFmpeg: For audio processing.
- Gradio: For creating the WebUI.
- Faster Whisper: For English and Japanese ASR.
- FunASR: For Chinese ASR.
- Docker: For containerization and deployment (optional).
- Conda: For environment management.
What are the benefits of the project?
- Ease of Use: The WebUI provides a user-friendly interface, making it accessible to users without extensive technical expertise.
- Low Data Requirements: Voice cloning and TTS can be achieved with very small amounts of audio data.
- Fast Training: Fine-tuning is quick, requiring only about a minute of data.
- Multilingual: Supports multiple languages, broadening its applicability.
- Open Source: The project is released under the MIT license, allowing for free use and modification.
- Integrated Tools: The built-in tools streamline the process of creating training datasets and models.
