F5-TTS: A Fairytaler that Fakes Fluent and Faithful Speech with Flow Matching

F5-TTS: Diffusion Transformer with ConvNeXt V2, faster trained and inference.

E2 TTS: Flat-UNet Transformer, closest reproduction from paper.

Sway Sampling: Inference-time flow step sampling strategy, greatly improves performance

Thanks to all the contributors !

Installation

# Create a python 3.10 conda env (you could also use virtualenv)
conda create -n f5-tts python=3.10
conda activate f5-tts

# Install pytorch with your CUDA version, e.g.
pip install torch==2.3.0+cu118 torchaudio==2.3.0+cu118 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118

Then you can choose from a few options below:

1. As a pip package (if just for inference)

pip install git+https://github.com/SWivid/F5-TTS.git

2. Local editable (if also do training, finetuning)

git clone https://github.com/SWivid/F5-TTS.git
cd F5-TTS
pip install -e .

3. Build from dockerfile

docker build -t f5tts:v1 .

Inference

1. Gradio App

Currently supported features:

• Basic TTS with Chunk Inference
• Multi-Style / Multi-Speaker Generation
• Voice Chat powered by Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct

# Launch a Gradio app (web interface)
f5-tts_infer-gradio

# Specify the port/host
f5-tts_infer-gradio --port 7860 --host 0.0.0.0

# Launch a share link
f5-tts_infer-gradio --share

2. CLI Inference

# Run with flags
# Leave --ref_text "" will have ASR model transcribe (extra GPU memory usage)
f5-tts_infer-cli \
--model "F5-TTS" \
--ref_audio "ref_audio.wav" \
--ref_text "The content, subtitle or transcription of reference audio." \
--gen_text "Some text you want TTS model generate for you."

# Run with default setting. src/f5_tts/infer/examples/basic/basic.toml
f5-tts_infer-cli
# Or with your own .toml file
f5-tts_infer-cli -c custom.toml

# Multi voice. See src/f5_tts/infer/README.md
f5-tts_infer-cli -c src/f5_tts/infer/examples/multi/story.toml

3. More instructions

• In order to have better generation results, take a moment to read detailed guidance.
• The Issues are very useful, please try to find the solution by properly searching the keywords of problem encountered. If no answer found, then feel free to open an issue.

Training

Evaluation

Development

Use pre-commit to ensure code quality (will run linters and formatters automatically)

pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install

When making a pull request, before each commit, run:

pre-commit run --all-files

Note: Some model components have linting exceptions for E722 to accommodate tensor notation
