🚀 TaDiCodec

We introduce the Text-aware Diffusion Transformer Speech Codec (TaDiCodec), a novel approach to speech tokenization that employs end-to-end optimization for quantization and reconstruction through a diffusion autoencoder, while integrating text guidance into the diffusion decoder to enhance reconstruction quality and achieve optimal compression. TaDiCodec achieves an extremely low frame rate of 6.25 Hz and a corresponding bitrate of 0.0875 kbps with a single-layer codebook for 24 kHz speech, while maintaining superior performance on critical speech generation evaluation metrics such as Word Error Rate (WER), speaker similarity (SIM), and speech quality (UTMOS).

Speech Tokenization and Reconstruction

# Example: Using TaDiCodec for speech tokenization
import torch
import soundfile as sf
from models.tts.tadicodec.inference_tadicodec import TaDiCodecPipline

device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
pipe = TaDiCodecPipline.from_pretrained(ckpt_dir="./ckpt/TaDiCodec", device=device)

# Text of the prompt audio
prompt_text = "In short, we embarked on a mission to make America great again, for all Americans."
# Text of the target audio
target_text = "But to those who knew her well, it was a symbol of her unwavering determination and spirit."

# Input audio path of the prompt audio
prompt_speech_path = "./use_examples/test_audio/trump_0.wav"
# Input audio path of the target audio
speech_path = "./use_examples/test_audio/trump_1.wav"

rec_audio = pipe(
    text=target_text,
    speech_path=speech_path,
    prompt_text=prompt_text,
    prompt_speech_path=prompt_speech_path
)
sf.write("./use_examples/test_audio/trump_rec.wav", rec_audio, 24000)

Zero-shot TTS with TaDiCodec

import torch
import soundfile as sf
from models.tts.llm_tts.inference_llm_tts import TTSInferencePipeline
# from models.tts.llm_tts.inference_mgm_tts import MGMInferencePipeline

device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")

# Create AR TTS pipeline
pipeline = TTSInferencePipeline.from_pretrained(
    tadicodec_path="./ckpt/TaDiCodec",
    llm_path="./ckpt/TaDiCodec-TTS-AR-Qwen2.5-3B",
    device=device,
)

# Inference on single sample, you can also use the MGM TTS pipeline
audio = pipeline(
    text="但是 to those who 知道 her well, it was a 标志 of her unwavering 决心 and spirit.",   # code-switching cases are supported
    prompt_text="In short, we embarked on a mission to make America great again, for all Americans.",
    prompt_speech_path="./use_examples/test_audio/trump_0.wav",
)

sf.write("./use_examples/test_audio/lm_tts_output.wav", audio, 24000)
