## Introduction
|
56 |
-
MALIBA TTS is a collection of text-to-speech models for six Malian languages. These models represent a significant advancement for digital accessibility of Malian languages.
|
57 |
-
|
58 |
-
**Key Points:**
|
59 |
-
- Models available for 6 languages: **Bambara, Boomu, Dogon, Pular, Songhoy, and Tamasheq**
|
60 |
-
- Based on VITS architecture and Meta's MMS model
|
61 |
-
- Optimized for resource-constrained environments
|
62 |
-
- Preserves the linguistic authenticity of Malian languages
|
63 |
-
|
64 |
-
## Technical Specifications
|
65 |
-
|
66 |
-
### Model Specifications
|
67 |
-
- **Architecture**: VITS (Variational Inference with adversarial learning for end-to-end TTS)
|
68 |
-
- **Base Model**: Meta's MMS (Massively Multilingual Speech)
|
69 |
-
- **Model Size**: 145 MB per language
|
70 |
-
- **Format**: PyTorch
|
71 |
-
- **Sampling Rate**: 16kHz
|
72 |
-
- **Audio Encoding**: 16-bit PCM
|
73 |
-
|
74 |
-
### Performance
|
75 |
-
- **Inference**: Optimized to run on CPU
|
76 |
-
- **Inference Time**: Varies based on text length and language
|
77 |
-
- **Memory Requirements**: ~4GB RAM recommended
|
78 |
-
|
79 |
-
## Installation
|
80 |
-
```
|
81 |
-
Coming soon
|
82 |
-
```
|
83 |
-
|
84 |
-
### Usage
|
85 |
-
|
86 |
-
```python
|
87 |
-
coming soon
|
88 |
-
```
|
89 |
-
|
90 |
-
## Limitations
|
91 |
-
- Reduced performance on very long phrases (manual segmentation recommended)
|
92 |
-
- Quality varies by language and dialect
|
93 |
-
- French or English loanwords may have inaccurate pronunciation
|
94 |
-
- Limited support for numbers and dates
|
95 |
-
- The model performs best with grammatically correct texts
|
96 |
-
|
97 |
