Run time and cost

This model costs approximately $0.0076 to run on Replicate, or 131 runs per $1, but this varies depending on your inputs. It is also open source and you can run it on your own computer with Docker.

This model runs on Nvidia L40S GPU hardware. Predictions typically complete within 8 seconds. The predict time for this model varies significantly based on the inputs.

Readme

Parler-TTS Mini v0.1

Parler-TTS Mini v0.1 is a lightweight text-to-speech (TTS) model, trained on 10.5K hours of audio data, that can generate high-quality, natural sounding speech with features that can be controlled using a simple text prompt (e.g. gender, background noise, speaking rate, pitch and reverberation). It is the first release model from the Parler-TTS project, which aims to provide the community with TTS training resources and dataset pre-processing code.

Tips: * Include the term “very clear audio” to generate the highest quality audio, and “very noisy audio” for high levels of background noise * Punctuation can be used to control the prosody of the generations, e.g. use commas to add small breaks in speech * The remaining speech features (gender, speaking rate, pitch and reverberation) can be controlled directly through the prompt
