ChatTTSPlus - an open-source text-to-speech tool; the ChatTTS extended version supports voice cloning.

What is ChatTTSPlus?

ChatTTSPlus is an extended version of ChatTTS, adding features such as TensorRT acceleration, speech cloning, and mobile model deployment, improving the performance and flexibility of speech synthesis. On the Windows platform, it achieves over 3x acceleration, increasing from 28 tokens/s to 110 tokens/s, significantly improving processing speed. ChatTTSPlus provides a Windows integration package for easy one-click extraction and use. Based on technologies such as LoRA, ChatTTSPlus enables speech cloning and uses techniques like pruning and knowledge distillation for model compression and acceleration, creating personalized speech.

Main functions of ChatTTSPlus

• TensorRT accelerationBased on TensorRT technology, ChatTTSPlus achieves more than 3 times the speedup on the Windows platform, improving the efficiency of speech synthesis.
• Voice cloningUsing technologies such as LoRA, ChatTTSPlus can achieve voice cloning, allowing users to copy the voice of a specific person.
• Mobile model deploymentThe project uses model compression and acceleration to enable speech synthesis models to run on mobile devices.
• One-click extraction and useIt provides a Windows integrated package that users can extract and use with one click, simplifying the installation and configuration process.
• Model compressionBy using pruning and knowledge distillation techniques, we can reduce model size, improve operational efficiency, and adapt to resource-constrained environments.
• Web UI DemoIt provides a web user interface based on TensorRT and PyTorch, making it easy for users to quickly experience and test the speech synthesis function.

The technical principle of ChatTTSPlus
