The merlin project voice ai8/9/2023 ![]() Remote: Total 1515 (delta 0 ), reused 0 (delta 0 ), pack-reused 1514 Like good open-source software, the Merlin toolkit is hosted on GitHub and can be easily downloaded (cloned) with a single line of code: $ git clone Merlin is free software, distributed under an Apache License Version 2.0, allowing unrestricted commercial and non-commercial use alike. Merlin comes with recipes (in the spirit of the Kaldi automatic speech recognition toolkit) to show you how to build state-of-the art systems. The system is written in Python and relies on the Theano numerical computation library. It must be used in combination with a front-end text processor (e.g., Festival) and a vocoder (e.g., STRAIGHT or WORLD). Merlin is a toolkit for building Deep Neural Network models for statistical parametric speech synthesis. Here is a nice, concise description of the toolkit quoted directly from the official CSTR Merlin site: More specifically, I will show which files are required by scripts, which files are generated by scripts, and how the main demo script run_demo.sh proceeds from data preparation to training to synthesis. However, I won’t get into any of the algorithms behind DNNs or speech synthesis. In addition to showing and explaining the commands needed to install and run Merlin, I will also take some time to show how the scripts work and dive into the file structure expected by Merlin. In the following, I will display all the commands needed to (1) install Merlin from the official GitHub repository as well as (2) run the included demo. This post is a short introduction to installing and using the Merlin Speech Synthesis toolkit.
