WaveRNN is a PyTorch implementation of DeepMind’s WaveRNN vocoder, bundled with a Tacotron-style TTS front end to form a complete text-to-speech stack. As a vocoder, WaveRNN models raw audio with a compact recurrent neural network that can generate high-quality waveforms more efficiently than many traditional autoregressive models. The repository includes scripts and code for preprocessing datasets such as LJSpeech, training Tacotron to produce mel spectrograms, training WaveRNN on those...

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.
