PiperTTS-DE: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices
PiperTTS is a high-quality multi-lingual text-to-speech library.
This is based on the implementation of PiperTTS-DE found here. This repository contains pre-exported model files optimized for Qualcomm® devices. You can use the Qualcomm® AI Hub Models library to export with custom configurations. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found here.
Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. Sign up to run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device.
