# phoonnx_ca_miro_espeak

This is a text-to-speech voice model for **Catalan**. The voice is **Miro**, a male voice. It uses the phoonnx VITS architecture with espeak-ng for phonemization, exported to ONNX for CPU inference. It was fine-tuned from the base voice `phoonnx_an_miro_unicode`, the closest available language for this voice.

## How to use

Install [phoonnx](https://github.com/TigreGotico/phoonnx) and run:

```python
import wave
from phoonnx.config import SynthesisConfig
from phoonnx.voice import TTSVoice

voice = TTSVoice.from_hf("OpenVoiceOS/phoonnx_ca_miro_espeak")

synthesis_config = SynthesisConfig(noise_scale=0.667, length_scale=1.0, noise_w_scale=0.8)

with wave.open("output.wav", "wb") as wav_file:
    voice.synthesize_wav("Bon dia, com estàs?", wav_file, synthesis_config)
```

You can also use this model in OVOS with
[ovos-tts-plugin-phoonnx](https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-tts-plugin-phoonnx):

```json
{
  "tts": {
    "module": "ovos-tts-plugin-phoonnx",
    "ovos-tts-plugin-phoonnx": {
      "voice": "OpenVoiceOS/phoonnx_ca_miro_espeak"
    }
  }
}
```
