German Tacotron 2 and Multi-band MelGAN in TensorFlow with TF Lite inference support

Acknowledgement

Google supported this work by providing Google Cloud credit. Thank you Google for supporting the open source! 🎉

Overview

I am releasing pretrained German neural text-to-speech (TTS) models Tacotron 2 and Multi-band MelGAN. It supports inference with saved_model and TF Lite formats, and all the models can be found on TensorFlow Hub.

Dataset

I trained these models on Thorsten dataset by Thorsten Müller. It is licensed under the terms of Creative Commons Zero V1 Universal (CC0), which is used to opt out of copyright entirely and ensure that the work has the widest reach. Thanks @thorstenMueller for such a great contribution to the community.

Notes

Some good guys are doing a great job at tensorspeech/TensorFlowTTS, which was already supporting TTS in English, Chinese and Korean. I wanted to contribute with support for German and trained these models. Now it supports both training and inference with proper processors. A detailed blog post will follow up, but some quick notes for now:
