phoonnx_ast_dii_unicode

This is a text-to-speech voice model for Asturian. The voice is Dii, a female voice. It uses the phoonnx VITS architecture with a unicode character-based phonemizer, exported to ONNX for CPU inference. It was fine-tuned from the base voice phoonnx_gl-ES_dii_unicode, the closest available language for this voice.

How to use

Install phoonnx:

pip install --pre phoonnx

Then run:

import wave
from phoonnx.model_manager import TTSModelManager

manager = TTSModelManager()
manager.load()
manager.merge_default_voices()

voice = manager.voices["OpenVoiceOS/phoonnx_ast_dii_unicode"].load()

with wave.open("output.wav", "wb") as wav_file:
    voice.synthesize_wav("Bones díes, ¿cómo tas?", wav_file)

In OVOS, phoonnx installs the ovos-tts-plugin-phoonnx plugin. Select this voice in mycroft.conf:

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