# TransformerTTS with LJSpeech
## Dataset
### Download the datasaet
```bash
wget https://data.keithito.com/data/speech/LJSpeech-1.1.tar.bz2
```
### Extract the dataset
```bash
tar xjvf LJSpeech-1.1.tar.bz2
```
## Get Started
Assume the path to the dataset is `~/datasets/LJSpeech-1.1`.
Run the command below to
1. **source path**.
2. preprocess the dataset,
3. train the model.
4. synthesize wavs.
    - synthesize waveform from `metadata.jsonl`.
    - synthesize waveform from text file.
```bash
./run.sh
```
### Preprocess the dataset
```bash
./local/preprocess.sh ${conf_path}
```
When it is done. A `dump` folder is created in the current directory. The structure of the dump folder is listed below.
```text
dump
├── dev
│ ├── norm
│ └── raw
├── phone_id_map.txt
├── speaker_id_map.txt
├── test
│  ├── norm
│  └── raw
└── train
    ├── norm
    ├── raw
    └── speech_stats.npy
```
The dataset is split into 3 parts, namely `train`, `dev` and` test`, each of which contains a `norm` and `raw` sub folder. The raw folder contains speech feature of each utterances, while the norm folder contains normalized ones. The statistics used to normalize features are computed from the training set, which is located in `dump/train/speech_stats.npy`.

Also there is a `metadata.jsonl` in each subfolder. It is a table-like file which contains phones, text_lengths, speech_lengths, path of speech features, speaker and id of each utterance.

### Train the model
`./local/train.sh` calls `${BIN_DIR}/train.py`.
```bash
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${gpus} ./local/train.sh ${conf_path} ${train_output_path}
```
Here's the complete help message.

  --config CONFIG       config file to overwrite default config.
  --train-metadata TRAIN_METADATA
                        training data.
  --dev-metadata DEV_METADATA
                        dev data.

1. `--config` is a config file in yaml format to overwrite the default config, which can be found at `conf/default.yaml`.
2. `--train-metadata` and `--dev-metadata` should be the metadata file in the normalized subfolder of `train` and `dev` in the `dump` folder.
3. `--output-dir` is the directory to save the results of the experiment. Checkpoints are save in `checkpoints/` inside this directory.
4. `--ngpu` is the number of gpus to use, if ngpu == 0, use cpu.
5. `--phones-dict` is the path of the phone vocabulary file.

## Synthesize
We use [waveflow](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleSpeech/tree/develop/examples/ljspeech/voc0) as the neural vocoder.
Download Pretrained WaveFlow Model with residual channel equals 128 from [waveflow_ljspeech_ckpt_0.3.zip](https://paddlespeech.bj.bcebos.com/Parakeet/waveflow_ljspeech_ckpt_0.3.zip) and unzip it.
```bash
unzip waveflow_ljspeech_ckpt_0.3.zip
```
