FastSpeech 2

Speed and Quality in Modern Speech Synthesis

What is FastSpeech 2?

FastSpeech 2 is a state-of-the-art text-to-speech (TTS) model developed to improve both the speed and quality of speech synthesis. Building upon the original FastSpeech architecture, FastSpeech 2 introduces variance predictors for pitch, energy, and duration, resulting in more natural and expressive speech.

Its non-autoregressive architecture allows for parallel processing, making it significantly faster than traditional models like Tacotron 2 while maintaining or exceeding output quality.

  • Improved pitch, energy, and duration modeling enables more human-like intonation and emphasis.

Multi-Speaker and Multilingual Support

  • Adaptable to different voices and languages for broader applications.

Robustness to Input Variation

  • Better stability and fewer pronunciation errors than earlier models.

End-to-End Pipeline

  • From raw text to waveform generation using vocoders like HiFi-GAN or WaveGlow.

Open-Source and Research Ready

  • Widely adopted in research and production environments for building speech-enabled systems.
