ComfyUI Extension: ComfyUI-MegaTTS

ComfyUI-MegaTTS Introduction

ComfyUI-MegaTTS is an innovative extension designed to bring high-quality text-to-speech (TTS) capabilities to AI artists. Built on ByteDance's MegaTTS3, this extension allows you to convert text into natural-sounding speech in both English and Chinese. It also offers voice cloning features, enabling you to replicate any voice using just a short audio sample. This tool is particularly useful for artists looking to add a vocal element to their projects, whether it's for creating voiceovers, character voices, or any other creative audio content.

How ComfyUI-MegaTTS Works

At its core, ComfyUI-MegaTTS uses advanced machine learning models to transform written text into spoken words. It leverages a diffusion transformer model, which is a type of neural network that excels at generating high-quality audio. Think of it as a sophisticated artist that listens to your text and paints a picture of sound, capturing the nuances of human speech. The extension also includes a voice cloning feature, which works by analyzing a short audio sample to capture the unique characteristics of a voice, allowing it to mimic that voice in new speech outputs.

ComfyUI-MegaTTS Features

• High-Quality Speech Synthesis: Converts text into smooth, natural-sounding speech.
• Voice Cloning: Clone any voice using a short sample, requiring both WAV and NPY files.
• Bilingual Support: Seamlessly switch between English and Chinese, with code-switching capabilities.
• Advanced Parameter Control: Fine-tune the quality, pronunciation accuracy, and voice similarity to suit your needs.
• Memory Management: Optimizes GPU resource usage to prevent memory shortages, especially for users with limited GPU memory.
• Automatic Model Download: Automatically downloads necessary models when needed, simplifying the setup process.

ComfyUI-MegaTTS Models

ComfyUI-MegaTTS utilizes a modified version of the MegaTTS3 model, which is organized into several components:

• Diffusion Transformer: Handles the main TTS process.
• WavVAE: Compresses and reconstructs audio, though currently unavailable for direct use.
• Duration and Aligner Models: Ensure accurate timing and alignment of speech.
• G2P (Grapheme-to-Phoneme): Converts written text into phonetic representations. Each model plays a crucial role in ensuring the generated speech is both accurate and natural.

What's New with ComfyUI-MegaTTS

• Added internationalization support for English and Chinese.

Version 1.0.1

• Bug fixes to improve stability and performance.

Troubleshooting ComfyUI-MegaTTS

If you encounter issues while using ComfyUI-MegaTTS, here are some common problems and solutions:

• Model Download Issues: Ensure you have a stable internet connection. If automatic downloads fail, manually download models from Hugging Face.
• Voice Cloning Errors: Make sure your WAV and NPY files are correctly placed in the Voices folder and named consistently.
• Memory Errors: Try reducing the generation quality or using a GPU with more memory.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I improve voice similarity? Adjust the voice_similarity parameter to a higher value for closer resemblance to the reference voice.
• Can I use my own voice samples? Yes, you can submit your samples to the Voice Submission Queue for processing.
