pipertts_fr-FR_miro

pipertts_fr-FR_miro

This is a text-to-speech voice model for French. The voice is Miro, a male voice. It uses the Piper VITS architecture, exported to ONNX for CPU inference. It was fine-tuned from the base voice pipertts_pt-PT_miro, the closest available language for this voice.

Known issue: this voice speaks slowly. A training-data error reduced the speech rate by 20%.

How to use

This is a Piper VITS voice, in ONNX format. Use it with any Piper-compatible runtime, or with ovos-tts-plugin-piper in OVOS:

{
  "tts": {
    "module": "ovos-tts-plugin-piper",
    "ovos-tts-plugin-piper": {
      "voice": "OpenVoiceOS/pipertts_fr-FR_miro"
    }
  }
}

Command line, with the piper package installed:

echo "Bonjour, comment allez-vous?" | piper --model OpenVoiceOS/pipertts_fr-FR_miro --output_file output.wav
