KazakhTTS: An Open-Source Kazakh Text-to-Speech Dataset

This repository contains dataset for training a Kazakh text-to-speech (TTS) model. The project utilizes the KazakhTTS and KazakhTTS2 corpora and builds upon the ESPnet framework. Pretrained models and vocoders are available.

Summary:

The KazakhTTS project offers a recipe for training high-quality Kazakh TTS models using the ESPnet framework. It provides access to pretrained models and vocoders, along with instructions for synthesis. The project emphasizes ethical use and requires attribution.

Model Information:

The project uses ESPnet for model training. The recipe supports training various models such as Tacotron2 and FastSpeech. Pretrained models and vocoders are offered.
