C API
You can use the following code to play with vits-piper-en_GB-vctk-medium with C API.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "sherpa-onnx/c-api/c-api.h"
int main() {
SherpaOnnxOfflineTtsConfig config;
memset(&config, 0, sizeof(config));
config.model.vits.model = "vits-piper-en_GB-vctk-medium/en_GB-vctk-medium.onnx";
config.model.vits.tokens = "vits-piper-en_GB-vctk-medium/tokens.txt";
config.model.vits.data_dir = "vits-piper-en_GB-vctk-medium/espeak-ng-data";
config.model.num_threads = 1;
const SherpaOnnxOfflineTts *tts = SherpaOnnxCreateOfflineTts(&config);
int sid = 0; // speaker id
const char *text = "Friends fell out often because life was changing so fast. The easiest thing in the world was to lose touch with someone.";
const SherpaOnnxGeneratedAudio *audio =
SherpaOnnxOfflineTtsGenerate(tts, text, sid, 1.0);
SherpaOnnxWriteWave(audio->samples, audio->n, audio->sample_rate,
"./test.wav");
// You need to free the pointers to avoid memory leak in your app
SherpaOnnxDestroyOfflineTtsGeneratedAudio(audio);
SherpaOnnxDestroyOfflineTts(tts);
printf("Saved to ./test.wav\n");
return 0;
}
In the following, we describe how to compile and run the above C example.
Use shared library (dynamic link)
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa-onnx
cd sherpa-onnx
mkdir build-shared
cd build-shared
cmake -DSHERPA_ONNX_ENABLE_C_API=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/tmp/sherpa-onnx/shared ..
make
make install
You can find required header file and library files inside /tmp/sherpa-onnx/shared.
Assume you have saved the above example file as /tmp/test-piper.c.
Then you can compile it with the following command:
gcc -I /tmp/sherpa-onnx/shared/include -L /tmp/sherpa-onnx/shared/lib -lsherpa-onnx-c-api -lonnxruntime -o /tmp/test-piper /tmp/test-piper.c
Now you can run
cd /tmp
# Assume you have downloaded the model and extracted it to /tmp
./test-piper
You probably need to run
# For Linux export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/sherpa-onnx/shared/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH # For macOS export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/sherpa-onnx/shared/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATHbefore you run
/tmp/test-piper.
Use static library (static link)
Please see the documentation at
https://k2-fsa.github.io/sherpa/onnx/c-api/index.html
Python API
Assume you have installed sherpa-onnx via
pip install sherpa-onnx
and you have downloaded the model from
You can use the following code to play with vits-piper-en_GB-vctk-medium
import sherpa_onnx
import soundfile as sf
config = sherpa_onnx.OfflineTtsConfig(
model=sherpa_onnx.OfflineTtsModelConfig(
vits=sherpa_onnx.OfflineTtsVitsModelConfig(
model="vits-piper-en_GB-vctk-medium/en_GB-vctk-medium.onnx",
lexicon="",
data_dir="vits-piper-en_GB-vctk-medium/espeak-ng-data",
tokens="vits-piper-en_GB-vctk-medium/tokens.txt",
),
num_threads=1,
),
)
if not config.validate():
raise ValueError("Please check your config")
tts = sherpa_onnx.OfflineTts(config)
audio = tts.generate(text="Friends fell out often because life was changing so fast. The easiest thing in the world was to lose touch with someone.",
sid=0,
speed=1.0)
sf.write("test.mp3", audio.samples, samplerate=audio.sample_rate)
