...It uses PyTorch as its deep learning engine and adopts a Kaldi-style data processing pipeline for features, data formats, and experimental recipes. This combination allows researchers to leverage modern neural architectures while still benefiting from the robust data preparation practices developed in the speech community. ESPnet provides many ready-to-run recipes for popular academic benchmarks, making it straightforward to reproduce published results or serve as baselines for new research. The toolkit also hosts numerous pretrained models and example configs, ranging from Transformer and Conformer architectures to various attention-based encoder-decoder models.

IMS-Toucan is a toolkit for training, using, and teaching state-of-the-art text-to-speech systems, built at the Institute for Natural Language Processing (IMS), University of Stuttgart. It is the official home of ToucanTTS, a massively multilingual TTS system designed to support over 7,000 languages with a single unified framework. The toolkit focuses on being fast and controllable while not requiring huge amounts of compute, making it practical for research labs and smaller teams. It...

...The system separates alignment learning and acoustic modeling: an autoregressive Transformer is used as an aligner to extract phoneme-to-frame durations, while a non-autoregressive “ForwardTransformer” generates mel-spectrograms conditioned on text and durations. This design addresses common autoregressive issues such as repetition, skipped words, and unstable attention, and results in robust, fast synthesis where all frames are predicted in parallel. The repository ships with tooling to build datasets (especially LJSpeech) and create training data, plus scripts to train both the aligner and the TTS model, monitor training with TensorBoard, and resume or reset training runs.
