The future of speech technology is here, offering comprehensive support for over 1000 languages through the Massively Multilingual Speech (MMS) project by Facebook. In this article, we will walk you through how to utilize these text-to-speech (TTS) models effortlessly.
Table Of Contents
Usage
To use the MMS models, you’ll require some guidance. Detailed instructions can be found in the fairseq documentation. If you want hands-on experience, you can explore the models directly on the HuggingFace MMS Space.
Inside the repository, there are two folders of interest:
- *models*: This folder contains the generator necessary for running TTS inference.
- *full_models*: This folder includes the full model checkpoint, which encompasses the generator, discriminator, and optimizer states.
To download the models locally, use the hf_hub_download API. For specific instructions on inference, refer to the inference section in the fairseq docs.
Supported Languages
The MMS model is robust, supporting 1107 languages. You can discover the complete list of supported languages with their ISO 639-3 codes here. For a detailed overview, visit the MMS Language Coverage Overview.
