ModelScope releases PiVo-1.4M, a 1.4M-parameter English TTS model that runs on CPU
Overview
ModelScope releases PiVo-1.4M, an English text-to-speech model with 1.4M parameters and a built-in vocoder that generates 16 kHz mono speech.
The model runs offline on a CPU using NumPy and ONNX Runtime, without PyTorch. ModelScope reports a 0.532% word error rate on its held-out test set, a measure of intelligibility rather than naturalness. The code and acoustic weights are released under Apache-2.0.
