english_male_ryanspeech_tacotron

RyanSpeech model (based on ESPnet2)

espnet/english_male_ryanspeech_tacotron

This model was trained by Rohola Zandie using ryanspeech recipe in espnet. For the best results you need to download the vocoder separately from here and then use the following code:

from espnet2.bin.tts_inference import Text2Speech
from scipy.io.wavfile import write

model = Text2Speech.from_pretrained(
    model_file="espnet/english_male_ryanspeech_tacotron",
    vocoder_file="path_to_vocoder/train_nodev_parallel_wavegan.v1.long/checkpoint-1000000steps.pkl"
)

output = model("This is a simple test.")

write("x.wav", 22050, output['wav'].numpy())
