## Overview
MaskGCT (**Mask**ed **G**enerative **C**odec **T**ransformer) is *a fully non-autoregressive TTS model that eliminates the need for explicit alignment information between text and speech supervision, as well as phone-level duration prediction*. MaskGCT is a two-stage model: in the first stage, the model uses text to predict semantic tokens extracted from a speech self-supervised learning (SSL) model, and in the second stage, the model predicts acoustic tokens conditioned on these semantic tokens. MaskGCT follows the *mask-and-predict* learning paradigm. During training, MaskGCT learns to predict masked semantic or acoustic tokens based on given conditions and prompts. During inference, the model generates tokens of a specified length in a parallel manner. Experiments with 100K hours of in-the-wild speech demonstrate that MaskGCT outperforms the current state-of-the-art zero-shot TTS systems in terms of quality, similarity, and intelligibility. Audio samples are available at [demo page](https://maskgct.github.io/).
## News
- **2024/10/19**: We release **MaskGCT**, a fully non-autoregressive TTS model that eliminates the need for explicit alignment information between text and speech supervision. MaskGCT is trained on Emilia dataset and achieves SOTA zero-shot TTS perfermance.
## Quickstart
**Clone and install**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/open-mmlab/Amphion.git
# create env
bash ./models/tts/maskgct/env.sh
```
**Model download**
We provide the following pretrained checkpoints:
| Model Name | Description |
|-------------------|-------------|
| [Acoustic Codec](https://huggingface.co./amphion/MaskGCT/tree/main/acoustic_codec) | Converting speech to semantic tokens. |
| [Semantic Codec](https://huggingface.co./amphion/MaskGCT/tree/main/semantic_codec) | Converting speech to acoustic tokens and reconstructing waveform from acoustic tokens. |
| [MaskGCT-T2S](https://huggingface.co./amphion/MaskGCT/tree/main/t2s_model) | Predicting semantic tokens with text and prompt semantic tokens. |
| [MaskGCT-S2A](https://huggingface.co./amphion/MaskGCT/tree/main/s2a_model) | Predicts acoustic tokens conditioned on semantic tokens. |
You can download all pretrained checkpoints from [HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co./amphion/MaskGCT/tree/main) or use huggingface api.

**Basic Usage**
You can use the following code to generate speech from text and a prompt speech (the code is also provided in [inference.py](../../../models/tts/maskgct/maskgct_inference.py)).
```python
from models.tts.maskgct.maskgct_utils import *
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
import safetensors
import soundfile as sf
if __name__ == "__main__":
# build model
device = torch.device("cuda:0")
cfg_path = "./models/tts/maskgct/config/maskgct.json"
cfg = load_config(cfg_path)
# 1. build semantic model (w2v-bert-2.0)
semantic_model, semantic_mean, semantic_std = build_semantic_model(device)
# 2. build semantic codec
semantic_codec = build_semantic_codec(cfg.model.semantic_codec, device)
# 3. build acoustic codec
codec_encoder, codec_decoder = build_acoustic_codec(cfg.model.acoustic_codec, device)
# 4. build t2s model
t2s_model = build_t2s_model(cfg.model.t2s_model, device)
# 5. build s2a model
s2a_model_1layer = build_s2a_model(cfg.model.s2a_model.s2a_1layer, device)
s2a_model_full = build_s2a_model(cfg.model.s2a_model.s2a_full, device)

save_path = "[YOUR SAVE PATH]"
prompt_text = " We do not break. We never give in. We never back down."
target_text = "In this paper, we introduce MaskGCT, a fully non-autoregressive TTS model that eliminates the need for explicit alignment information between text and speech supervision."
# Specify the target duration (in seconds). If target_len = None, we use a simple rule to predict the target duration.
target_len = 18

sf.write(save_path, recovered_audio, 24000)
