Usage

Without Installation

An unofficial live demo is hosted on Hugging Face Spaces.

Use it on MyShell

There are hundreds of TTS models on MyShell, much more than MeloTTS. See examples here. More can be found at the widget center of MyShell.ai.

Install and Use Locally

Follow the installation steps here before using the following snippet:

from melo.api import TTS

# Speed is adjustable
speed = 1.0

# CPU is sufficient for real-time inference.
# You can also change to cuda:0
device = 'cpu'

text = "El resplandor del sol acaricia las olas, pintando el cielo con una paleta deslumbrante."
model = TTS(language='ES', device=device)
speaker_ids = model.hps.data.spk2id

output_path = 'es.wav'
model.tts_to_file(text, speaker_ids['ES'], output_path, speed=speed)

How it works

How audio & music work

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys melotts-spanish for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (melotts-spanish below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/audio/transcriptions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -F model="melotts-spanish" -F file=@audio.mp3
