What is kan-bayashi_ljspeech_vits?
kan-bayashi_ljspeech_vits is a text-to-speech model developed using the ESPnet toolkit, specifically trained on the LJSpeech dataset for English speech synthesis. It implements the VITS (Conditional Variational Autoencoder with Adversarial Learning) architecture, representing a state-of-the-art approach to speech synthesis.
Implementation Details
The model is built on ESPnet2, a comprehensive speech processing toolkit, and utilizes the VITS architecture for high-quality speech synthesis. It was trained by kan-bayashi using the ljspeech/tts1 recipe in ESPnet, demonstrating the toolkit's capabilities for end-to-end speech processing.
