Usage

Without Installation

An unofficial live demo is hosted on Hugging Face Spaces.

Use it on MyShell

There are hundreds of TTS models on MyShell, much more than MeloTTS. See examples here. More can be found at the widget center of MyShell.ai.

Install and Use Locally

Follow the installation steps here before using the following snippet:

from melo.api import TTS

# Speed is adjustable
speed = 1.0

# CPU is sufficient for real-time inference.
# You can set it manually to 'cpu' or 'cuda' or 'cuda:0' or 'mps'
device = 'auto' # Will automatically use GPU if available

# English 
text = "Did you ever hear a folk tale about a giant turtle?"
model = TTS(language='EN_NEWEST', device=device)
speaker_ids = model.hps.data.spk2id

output_path = 'en-newest.wav'
model.tts_to_file(text, speaker_ids['EN-Newest'], output_path, speed=speed)
