November 19, 2023🎧 Listen and Compare 12 Open-Source Text-to-Speech Models (Hugging Face Space)
Nice to have it all in one place. It'd be even nicer to have an apples to apples comparison, thus all female or all male voices, instead of mixed like it's now. Maybe both? The CSM example sounds like it's full of artifacts, just like F5-TTS - and both were highlighted for speech quality. Maybe something went wrong during generation? At least Sesame can sound way better. The Llasa sample seems slightly broken - that's maybe a hint that this happens more often? Same with the background noise for MegaTTS3. Orpheus was probably standing in a large room during the generation 😉. More on reddit.com

What is Text-to-Speech?
Text-to-Speech (TTS) is the task of generating natural sounding speech given text input. TTS models can be extended to have a single model that generates speech for multiple speakers and multiple languages.

Our studies show that, over many existing ASR systems, the models exhibit improved robustness to accents, background noise, technical language, as well as zero shot translation from multiple languages into English; and that accuracy on speech recognition and translation is near the state-of-the-art level. However, because the models are trained in a weakly supervised manner using large-scale noisy data, the predictions may include texts that are not actually spoken in the audio input (i.e.

Hey everyone!
We have been exploring various open-source Text-to-Speech (TTS) models, and decided to create a Hugging Face demo space that makes it easy to compare their quality side-by-side.
The demo features 12 popular TTS models, all tested using a consistent prompt, so you can quickly hear and compare their synthesized speech and choose the best one for your audio projects.
Would love to get feedback or suggestions!
👉 Check out the demo space and detailed comparison here!
👉 Check out the blog: Choosing the Right Text-to-Speech Model: Part 2
Share your use-case and we will update this space as required!
Which TTS model sounds most natural to you?
Cheers!

Cool project! And thanks for the work you put into it and making it a useful tool for others! I'd love to see Chatterbox and Kyutai added to the mix as well. At least, assuming they are open-source, if they aren't, of course, ignore this.
