VieNeu-TTS

🦜 VieNeu-TTS

Overview

VieNeu-TTS is an advanced on-device Vietnamese Text-to-Speech (TTS) model with instant voice cloning.

[!TIP] Voice Cloning: All model variants (including GGUF) support instant voice cloning with just 3-5 seconds of reference audio.

This project features two core architectures trained on the VieNeu-TTS-1000h dataset:

• VieNeu-TTS (0.5B): An enhanced model fine-tuned from the NeuTTS Air architecture for maximum stability.
• VieNeu-TTS-0.3B: A specialized model trained from scratch, delivering 2x faster inference and ultra-low latency. Check it out here.

🦜 Voice Cloning Inference

Reference Voice (Speaker Example):

Input Text:

Trên bầu trời xanh thẳm, những đám mây trắng lửng lờ trôi như những chiếc thuyền nhỏ đang lướt nhẹ theo dòng gió. Dưới mặt đất, cánh đồng lúa vàng rực trải dài tới tận chân trời, những bông lúa nghiêng mình theo từng làn gió.

Generated Output (Cloned Voice):

🔥 Quick Start (Web UI)

1. Requirements (eSpeak NG)

eSpeak NG is mandatory for phonemization.

• Windows: Download .msi from eSpeak NG Releases.
• macOS: brew install espeak
• Linux: sudo apt install espeak-ng

2. Installation

git clone https://github.com/pnnbao97/VieNeu-TTS.git
cd VieNeu-TTS

# Install uv (if you haven't)
# Windows: powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
# Linux/macOS: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Install dependencies & Run
uv sync
uv run gradio_app.py

3. Demo Video

📦 Using Python SDK (vieneu)

Install the SDK to integrate VieNeu-TTS-0.3B into your research or applications:

# Windows (Avoid llama-cpp build errors)
pip install vieneu --extra-index-url https://pnnbao97.github.io/llama-cpp-python-v0.3.16/cpu/

# Linux / MacOS
pip install vieneu

Full Features Guide

from vieneu import Vieneu
import os

# Initialization
tts = Vieneu()  # Default: 0.3B-Q4 GGUF for CPU
os.makedirs("outputs", exist_ok=True)

# 1. List preset voices
available_voices = tts.list_preset_voices()
for desc, name in available_voices:
    print(f"   - {desc} (ID: {name})")

# 2. Use specific voice (dynamically select second voice)
if available_voices:
    _, my_voice_id = available_voices[1] if len(available_voices) > 1 else available_voices[0]
    voice_data = tts.get_preset_voice(my_voice_id)
    audio_spec = tts.infer(text="Chào bạn, tôi đang nói bằng giọng của bác sĩ Tuyên.", voice=voice_data)
    tts.save(audio_spec, f"outputs/standard_{my_voice_id}.wav")
    print(f"💾 Saved synthesis to: outputs/standard_{my_voice_id}.wav")

# 3. Standard synthesis (uses default voice)
text = "Xin chào, tôi là VieNeu. Tôi có thể giúp bạn đọc sách, làm chatbot thời gian thực, hoặc thậm chí clone giọng nói của bạn."
audio = tts.infer(text=text)
tts.save(audio, "outputs/standard_output.wav")
print("💾 Saved synthesis to: outputs/standard_output.wav")

# 4. Zero-shot voice cloning
if os.path.exists("examples/audio_ref/example_ngoc_huyen.wav"):
    cloned_audio = tts.infer(
        text="Đây là giọng nói đã được clone thành công từ file mẫu.",
        ref_audio="examples/audio_ref/example_ngoc_huyen.wav",
        ref_text="Tác phẩm dự thi bảo đảm tính khoa học, tính đảng, tính chiến đấu, tính định hướng."
    )
    tts.save(cloned_audio, "outputs/standard_cloned_output.wav")
    print("💾 Saved cloned voice to: outputs/standard_cloned_output.wav")

# 5. Cleanup
tts.close()

Remote Mode (Ultra-Fast with LMDeploy Server)

For maximum speed, deploy a Docker server first, then connect remotely:

Step 1: Deploy Docker Server

docker run --gpus all -p 23333:23333 pnnbao/vieneu-tts:serve --model pnnbao-ump/VieNeu-TTS --tunnel

Step 2: Connect from Client

from vieneu import Vieneu
import os

# Configuration
REMOTE_API_BASE = 'http://your-server-ip:23333/v1'  # Or bore.pub:XXXX
REMOTE_MODEL_ID = "pnnbao-ump/VieNeu-TTS"

# Initialization (LIGHTWEIGHT - only loads small codec locally)
tts = Vieneu(mode='remote', api_base=REMOTE_API_BASE, model_name=REMOTE_MODEL_ID)
os.makedirs("outputs", exist_ok=True)

# List remote voices
available_voices = tts.list_preset_voices()
for desc, name in available_voices:
    print(f"   - {desc} (ID: {name})")

# Use specific voice
if available_voices:
    _, my_voice_id = available_voices[1]
    voice_data = tts.get_preset_voice(my_voice_id)
    audio_spec = tts.infer(text="Chào bạn, tôi đang nói bằng giọng của bác sĩ Tuyên.", voice=voice_data)
    tts.save(audio_spec, f"outputs/remote_{my_voice_id}.wav")
    print(f"💾 Saved synthesis to: outputs/remote_{my_voice_id}.wav")

# Standard synthesis
text_input = "Chế độ remote giúp tích hợp VieNeu vào ứng dụng Web hoặc App cực nhanh mà không cần GPU tại máy khách."
audio = tts.infer(text=text_input)
tts.save(audio, "outputs/remote_output.wav")
print("💾 Saved remote synthesis to: outputs/remote_output.wav")

# Zero-shot voice cloning (encodes audio locally, sends codes to server)
if os.path.exists("examples/audio_ref/example_ngoc_huyen.wav"):
    cloned_audio = tts.infer(
        text="Đây là giọng nói được clone và xử lý thông qua VieNeu Server.",
        ref_audio="examples/audio_ref/example_ngoc_huyen.wav",
        ref_text="Tác phẩm dự thi bảo đảm tính khoa học, tính đảng, tính chiến đấu, tính định hướng."
    )
    tts.save(cloned_audio, "outputs/remote_cloned_output.wav")
    print("💾 Saved remote cloned voice to: outputs/remote_cloned_output.wav")
