clone the repository with the following command

git clone --recursive https://github.com/balisujohn/tortoise.cpp.git

For now, CUDA and CPU only. To compile:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. 
make

This is tested with mac os arm

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DGGML_CUBLAS=ON
make

This is tested with Ubuntu 22.04 and cuda 12.0 and a 1070ti

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DGGML_METAL=ON
make

Only lowercase letters, spaces, and punctuation are supported in the prompt.

You will need to place ggml-model.bin, ggml-vocoder-model.bin and ggml-diffusion-model.bin in the models directory to run tortoise.cpp. You can download them here https://huggingface.co/balisujohn/tortoise-ggml. I will release scripts for generating these files from tortoise-tts.

From the build directory, run:

./tortoise

here's an example that should work out of the box:

./tortoise --message "based... dr freeman?" --voice "../models/mouse.bin" --seed 0 --output "based?.wav"

all command line arguments are optional:

arguments:
  --message           Specifies the message to generate, lowercase letters, spaces, and punctuation only. (default: "this is a test message." )
  --voice             Specifies the path to the voice file to use to determine the speaker's voice.  (default: "../models/mol.bin" )
  --output            Specifies the path where the generated wav file will be saved.                 (default: "./output.wav")
  --seed              Specifies the seed for psuedorandom number generation, used in autoregressive sampling and diffusion sampling (default: system time seed)

set up the original tortoise-tts, then run it with whatever voice you have, then after this line: https://github.com/neonbjb/tortoise-tts/blob/e2d9fba0bb5c4376d0d142efea47a448f97c4d90/tortoise/api.py#L401

add this code:

numpy_array = auto_conditioning.to("cpu").numpy().astype(np.float32)  # Ensure float32 for binary format

# Define the file path
file_path = 'auto_conditioning.bin'

# Save NumPy array as binary file
numpy_array.tofile(file_path)

print("saved auto conditioning")
exit()

then you can rename auto_conditioning.bin to the speaker name and put the file in your models folder to use it like any other voice. This works with voices clone with tortoise-tts.

If you want to contribute, please make an issue stating what you want to work on. DM me on twitter if you want a link to join the dev Discord, or if you have questions. I am happy to help get people get started with contributing!

I am also making available a fork of tortoise-tts which has my reverse engineering annotations, and also the export script for the autoregressive model.
