Anleitung ansehen →IMS-Toucan ist ein Open-Source-Projekt aus der Kategorie Audio von DigitalPhonetics (DigitalPhonetics/IMS-Toucan auf GitHub). Es hat 2.208 Sterne auf GitHub und 318 Forks, wird unter der Lizenz Apache-2.0 veröffentlicht und wurde zuletzt am 25. Januar 2026 auf GitHub aktualisiert.
ToucanTTS: fast, controllable text-to-speech for over 7,000 languages, from Stuttgart's IMS.
Decide whether you need speech in one of the pretrained model's languages, or a fine-tuned model for your own voice or language data.
Clone the repository and install system packages such as libsndfile1, espeak-ng, and ffmpeg, then create a virtual environment and install the Python requirements.
For custom work, prepare a training recipe by registering your dataset's audio paths and transcripts and copying a fine-tuning example.
Run inference through the ToucanTTS interface or the provided reader scripts, or launch a training pipeline run for your recipe.
Pretrained ToucanTTS models cover over 7,000 languages, with a published list of supported languages and a free hosted demo on Hugging Face.
Scaling parameters let you adjust duration, pitch-curve variance, and energy-curve variance at inference time.
Models download automatically when needed, and the interface supports setting language and speaker embeddings.
Example pipelines for single-dataset and multilingual fine-tuning show how to adapt the model to new data with modest compute.
Train from scratch or fine-tune with the training pipeline script, including multi-GPU runs via torchrun and optional Weights and Biases logging.
A scorer utility can find and remove outlier samples with unusually high loss from a dataset cache before training.
Install the listed system packages on Linux first, then set up the virtual environment.
git clone https://github.com/DigitalPhonetics/IMS-Toucan.git
cd IMS-Toucan
pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txtThe text-to-file reader script synthesises a list of sentences into one audio file; pretrained weights download automatically.
python run_text_to_file_reader.py # see README inference section for interface optionsAfter preparing a recipe, launch the training pipeline; add --finetune to start from a checkpoint.
python run_training_pipeline.py --finetuneIt is developed and maintained by researchers at the Institute for Natural Language Processing, University of Stuttgart, published under DigitalPhonetics.
Yes. The code and models are Apache-2.0 licensed and free, and the hosted Hugging Face demo is free to try.
No API key is needed; models run locally in PyTorch and download from Hugging Face automatically.
Commercial TTS APIs cover far fewer languages and charge per character; Toucan focuses on extreme multilingual coverage and trainability, at the cost of running and managing the model yourself.
Clone the repo, install the system packages and requirements.txt, then run the text-to-file reader script; the pretrained model downloads on first use.
