Description
AudioLM is an innovative audio language model designed to create high-quality, coherent speech and piano music by solely learning from raw audio data, eliminating the need for text transcripts or symbolic forms. It organizes audio in a hierarchical manner through two distinct types of discrete tokens: semantic tokens, which are derived from a self-supervised model to capture both phonetic and melodic structures along with broader context, and acoustic tokens, which come from a neural codec to maintain speaker characteristics and intricate waveform details. This model employs a series of three Transformer stages, initiating with the prediction of semantic tokens to establish the overarching structure, followed by the generation of coarse tokens, and culminating in the production of fine acoustic tokens for detailed audio synthesis. Consequently, AudioLM can take just a few seconds of input audio to generate seamless continuations that effectively preserve voice identity and prosody in speech, as well as melody, harmony, and rhythm in music. Remarkably, evaluations by humans indicate that the synthetic continuations produced are almost indistinguishable from actual recordings, demonstrating the technology's impressive authenticity and reliability. This advancement in audio generation underscores the potential for future applications in entertainment and communication, where realistic sound reproduction is paramount.
Description
Piper is a rapidly operating, localized neural text-to-speech (TTS) system that is particularly optimized for devices like the Raspberry Pi 4, aiming to provide top-notch speech synthesis capabilities without the dependence on cloud infrastructure. It employs neural network models developed with VITS and subsequently exported to ONNX Runtime, which facilitates both efficient and natural-sounding speech production. Supporting a diverse array of languages, Piper includes English (both US and UK dialects), Spanish (from Spain and Mexico), French, German, and many others, with downloadable voice options available. Users have the flexibility to operate Piper through command-line interfaces or integrate it seamlessly into Python applications via the piper-tts package. The system boasts features such as real-time audio streaming, JSON input for batch processing, and compatibility with multi-speaker models, enhancing its versatility. Additionally, Piper makes use of espeak-ng for phoneme generation, transforming text into phonemes before generating speech. It has found applications in various projects, including Home Assistant, Rhasspy 3, and NVDA, among others, illustrating its adaptability across different platforms and use cases. With its emphasis on local processing, Piper appeals to users looking for privacy and efficiency in their speech synthesis solutions.
