'Txt2Mp3' an desktop application developed using python 3.6.8 and other add-on libaries. Can convert texts into audio (.mp3) files using gTTS (Google Text-to-speech) api module library. Compatible only for windows OS.

VITS is a foundational research implementation of “VITS: Conditional Variational Autoencoder with Adversarial Learning for End-to-End Text-to-Speech,” a well-known neural TTS architecture. Unlike traditional two-stage systems that separately train an acoustic model and a vocoder, VITS trains an end-to-end model that maps text directly to waveform using a conditional variational autoencoder combined with normalizing flows and adversarial training. This architecture enables parallel generation (fast inference) while achieving speech quality that rivals or surpasses many two-stage systems. The repository provides training and inference pipelines for common datasets such as LJ Speech (single-speaker) and VCTK (multi-speaker), including filelists, configs, and preprocessing scripts. It also includes monotonic alignment search code and g2p preprocessing, which are crucial components for aligning text and speech in an end-to-end setup.

VibeVoice ComfyUI is a comprehensive wrapper that integrates Microsoft’s VibeVoice text-to-speech models directly into ComfyUI workflows. It exposes VibeVoice as a set of custom nodes so you can build single-speaker and multi-speaker voice generation pipelines visually, combining TTS with other audio or generative components. The integration supports high-quality single-speaker synthesis as well as scripted multi-speaker conversations, with optional voice cloning from audio samples for each speaker. It includes advanced control over generation parameters like attention backend, diffusion steps, sampling temperature, guidance scale, and quantization settings, allowing users to tune the trade-offs between quality, VRAM usage, and speed. The project also introduces first-class LoRA support, making it possible to fine-tune and load custom LoRA adapters that modify voice identity or style while keeping the base VibeVoice model intact.

VideoChat is a real-time voice-interactive “digital human” system that combines automatic speech recognition, large language models, text-to-speech, and talking-head generation into a single conversational pipeline. It supports both pure end-to-end voice solutions based on multimodal large language models (GLM-4-Voice feeding directly into talking-head generation) and a more traditional cascaded pipeline using ASR → LLM → TTS → talking head. It is built as a Gradio Python demo, exposing a web interface where users can talk to an animated avatar that lip-syncs to synthesized speech while responding intelligently. The system is customizable: you can define your own avatar appearance and voice, and it supports voice cloning so you can generate a new voice from a short 3–10 second reference sample. The tech stack integrates FunASR for speech recognition, Qwen for language understanding, multiple TTS engines like GPT-SoVITS, CosyVoice, or edge-tts, and MuseTalk for talking-head generation.

Voice Conference Manager uses VoiceXML and CCXML to control speech recognition, text to speech, and voice biometrics for a telephone conference service. Say the names or numbers of people and VCM places them into the call. Can be hosted on public servers

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 spectrograms (with optional GTA data), and finally generating audio. A quick_start.py script allows users to immediately synthesize example sentences from a pretrained model and inspect both generated audio and attention plots. For custom TTS, the project guides you through training Tacotron, forcing GTA spectrogram export when desired, training WaveRNN with or without GTA, and then running joint generation.

vits_chinese is an implementation of the VITS end-to-end text-to-speech (TTS) architecture tailored for Chinese (and possibly multilingual) speech synthesis. VITS is a model combining variational autoencoders (VAEs), normalizing flows, adversarial learning, and a stochastic duration predictor — a design that enables generation of natural, expressive speech, capturing variations in rhythm and prosody. By customizing or porting VITS for Chinese, this project aims to produce high-quality TTS outputs in a language that can be challenging due to tones, pronunciation variability, and prosody. The repository offers full training and inference pipelines: preprocessing, mel-spectrogram generation, training scripts, and audio synthesis. For users who don’t train their own models, the project provides pre-trained checkpoints (or instructions) and expects integration with a vocoder during speech synthesis.

wukong-robot is a Chinese voice assistant / smart speaker project built to let makers and hackers design highly customizable voice-controlled devices. It combines wake-word detection, automatic speech recognition, natural language understanding, and text-to-speech into a single framework aimed at the Chinese-speaking ecosystem. The project is positioned as a simple, flexible, and elegant platform that can run on devices like Raspberry Pi and other Linux-based boards, making it suitable for DIY smart speakers and home-automation hubs. It supports multi-turn conversational capabilities powered by ChatGPT or other large language models, letting users have continuous dialogues rather than one-shot commands. The project emphasizes extensibility: there is a plugin ecosystem (wukong-contrib) where developers can add new skills such as controlling smart-home devices, querying services, or performing custom actions.
