I struggled to get anything but errors for the longest. Here's what finally got me able to run 'synthesize.py'

Starting with the downloads listed on main page: LJ Dataset: https://keithito.com/LJ-Speech-Dataset/ needs to be unpacked and put somewhere. Adjust 'data = ’ in hyperparameters.py to point to it. ----> Change the name of the .csv file in that folder to ‘transcript.csv’. I can’t remember now what it was called, but everything will fail unless it’s named transcript.csv.

Pretrained models for LJ : https://www.dropbox.com/s/1oyipstjxh2n5wo/LJ_logdir.tar?dl=0 make a directory named ‘logdir’ in dc_tts. Untar both the LJ01-1 and LJ01-2 folders in there. Again, everything bombs without them being located there.

finally, mkdir samples in dc_tts, or it’ll complain about nowhere to write.

If you get obscure errors like “TypeError: new() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘file’”, you’re in luck because I know what to do. Your ‘protobuf’ python library is out of date. Turned out for me a rogue older version was hiding out in ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/. Pip didnt seem to mind or notice when I did a million varieties of attempting to uninstall/reinstall. Finally, I rm -rf -ed that mother and then did a sudo -H pip install --upgrade protobuf. You need to make sure your version is greater than 3.something-or-other or again, no dice.

… python synthesize.py at this point runs to completion. It produces 20 files, I assume meant to match the ‘harvard_sentences.txt’ file, all garbled static or silence only, but it indeed completed. That’s a start.

further notes on this: You can adjust max_N and max_T in hyperparams down to 60 and make inference (for short phrases) nearly 20x+ faster. I can’t tell any difference in quality of the output. To begin with, the same phrase that now takes 14 seconds would take over two minutes. Here’s some samples.

I made a little wrapper so one can simply go ./wrapper.py "phrase to say" and it’ll speak it as soon as it’s done, along with saving file to backups/

Now maybe i can daemonize it and just RPC/curl or something to have a functional TTS system. Thank you so much for sharing this. !

Make sure that you should have log1 and log2 folder in logdir folder… Inside those log1 and log2 folder it should have models.
