+ # Swahili MMS TTS - Finetuned Model
7
+
8
+ This is a fine-tuned version of the Facebook MMS (Massively Multilingual Speech) model for Swahili Text-to-Speech (TTS). The model was fine-tuned to improve Swahili pronunciation and performance using custom audio datasets.
9
+
10
+ ## Model Details
11
+
12
+ - **Model Name**: Swahili MMS TTS - Finetuned
13
+ - **Languages Supported**: Swahili
14
+ - **Base Model**: Facebook MMS
15
+ - **Use Case**: Text-to-Speech for Swahili language, suitable for generating high-quality speech from text.
16
+
17
+ ## Training Details
18
+
19
+ The fine-tuning process was done using a custom dataset of Swahili voice samples to improve the fluency and accuracy of the original MMS model in Swahili. This resulted in enhanced pronunciation and natural-sounding speech for Swahili.
20
+
21
+ You can check out the code and process used in the fine-tuning by visiting the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/benny-png/Swahili-model-for-Audio-Text-to-Speech).
22
+
23
+ ## How to Use
24
+
25
+ You can load and use the model directly from the Hugging Face model hub:
26
+
27
+ ```python
28
+ from transformers import pipeline
29
+
30
+ # Load the fine-tuned model
31
+ tts = pipeline("text-to-speech", model="Benjamin-png/swahili-mms-tts-finetuned")
32
+
33
+ # Generate speech from text
34
+ speech = tts("Habari, karibu kwenye mfumo wetu wa kusikiliza kwa Kiswahili.")
35
+ ```
36
+
37
+ ## Example Notebook
38
+
39
+ If you're interested in reproducing the fine-tuning process or using the model for similar purposes, you can check out the Google Colab notebook that outlines the entire process:

+
41
+ - [Google Colab Notebook](upload file to Google Drive and provide the link here)
42
+
43
+ The notebook includes detailed steps on how to fine-tune the MMS model for Swahili TTS.
