# Affective TTS - SoundScape
  - Affective TTS via [SHIFT TTS tool](https://github.com/audeering/shift)
  - Soundscapes, e.g. trees, water, leaves, generations via [AudioGen](https://huggingface.co/dkounadis/artificial-styletts2/discussions/3)
  - `landscape2soundscape.py` shows how to overlay TTS & Soundscape to Images
  - `134` build-in voices

## Available Voices

<a href="https://audeering.github.io/shift/">Listen Voices!</a>

## Flask API

Install

```
virtualenv --python=python3 ~/.envs/.my_env
source ~/.envs/.my_env/bin/activate
cd shift/
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Flask

```
CUDA_DEVICE_ORDER=PCI_BUS_ID HF_HOME=./hf_home CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=2 python api.py
```

## Inference

The following need `api.py` to be running on a `tmux session`. 

### Text 2 Speech

```python
# Basic TTS - See Available Voices
python tts.py --text sample.txt --voice "en_US/m-ailabs_low#mary_ann" --affective

# voice cloning
python tts.py --text sample.txt --native assets/native_voice.wav
```

**Image 2 Video**

```python
# Make video narrating an image - All above TTS args apply also here!
python tts.py --text sample.txt --image assets/image_from_T31.jpg
```

**Video 2 Video**

```python
# Video Dubbing - from time-stamped subtitles (.srt)
python tts.py --text assets/head_of_fortuna_en.srt --video assets/head_of_fortuna.mp4

# Video narration - from text description (.txt)
python tts.py --text assets/head_of_fortuna_GPT.txt --video assets/head_of_fortuna.mp4
```

**Landscape 2 Soundscape**

```python
# TTS & soundscape - overlay to .mp4
python landscape2soundscape.py
```

## Examples

Substitute Native voice via TTS

##

Same video where Native voice is replaced with English TTS voice with similar emotion

```python
python tts.py --text assets/head_of_fortuna_en.srt --video assets/head_of_fortuna.mp4

```

From an image and text create a video:

```python

python tts.py --text sample.txt --image assets/image_from_T31.jpg
```
