tacotron

Tacotron is a heavily documented TensorFlow implementation of the end-to-end text-to-speech architecture introduced in the original Tacotron paper. It converts text into speech by learning acoustic representations and attention-based alignments from paired text and audio. The repository includes preprocessing, model modules, training, evaluation, and synthesis scripts. Example training setups use LJ Speech, Nick Offerman audiobook recordings, and the World English Bible dataset. Users can monitor loss and attention plots during training to evaluate alignment quality. Pretrained checkpoints and generated samples are provided as references for reproducing or studying the model's behavior.
