phoonnx_ar_dii_espeak

This is a text-to-speech voice model for Arabic. The voice is Dii, a female voice. It uses the phoonnx VITS architecture with espeak-ng for phonemization, exported to ONNX for CPU inference. It was fine-tuned from the base voice phoonnx_ar_miro_espeak, the closest available language for this voice.

How to use

Install phoonnx and run:

import wave
from phoonnx.config import SynthesisConfig
from phoonnx.voice import TTSVoice

voice = TTSVoice.from_hf("OpenVoiceOS/phoonnx_ar_dii_espeak")

synthesis_config = SynthesisConfig(noise_scale=0.667, length_scale=1.0, noise_w_scale=0.8)

with wave.open("output.wav", "wb") as wav_file:
    voice.synthesize_wav("صباح الخير، كيف حالك؟", wav_file, synthesis_config)

You can also use this model in OVOS with ovos-tts-plugin-phoonnx:

{
  "tts": {
    "module": "ovos-tts-plugin-phoonnx",
    "ovos-tts-plugin-phoonnx": {
      "voice": "OpenVoiceOS/phoonnx_ar_dii_espeak"
    }
  }
}
