MockingBird is an open-source voice cloning and real-time speech generation toolkit that lets you clone a speaker’s voice from a short audio sample (reportedly as little as 5 seconds) and then synthesize arbitrary speech in that voice. It builds on deep-learning based TTS / voice-cloning technology (in the lineage of projects such as Real-Time-Voice-Cloning), but extends it with support for Mandarin Chinese and multiple Chinese speech datasets — broadening its applicability beyond English....

...The architecture works in two stages: first an analysis stage that tries to extract “clean” intermediate features from the noisy audio (e.g. removing noise, denoising, dereverberation, upsampling), and then a neural vocoder-based synthesis stage that reconstructs a high-quality waveform from those features. Unlike many single-purpose noise reduction tools, VoiceFixer targets a “general speech restoration” problem (GSR), capable of handling multiple types of distortions at once, which makes it suitable for old recordings, phone-call audio, amateur voice recordings, or archival media. Evaluations show that VoiceFixer significantly improves both objective and subjective audio quality compared to baseline speech-enhancement methods.

...With integrated vocoder + mel-spectrogram generation pipelines, pre-trained models, and fairly flexible architecture, TensorFlowTTS is a great off-the-shelf and extensible TTS engine for applications ranging from voice assistants to content generation or accessibility tools.
