+# Vocos: Closing the gap between time-domain and Fourier-based neural vocoders for high-quality audio synthesis
+
+[Audio samples](https://charactr-platform.github.io/vocos/) |
+Paper [[abs]](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.00814) [[pdf]](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.00814.pdf)
+
+Vocos is a fast neural vocoder designed to synthesize audio waveforms from acoustic features. Trained using a Generative
+Adversarial Network (GAN) objective, Vocos can generate waveforms in a single forward pass. Unlike other typical
+GAN-based vocoders, Vocos does not model audio samples in the time domain. Instead, it generates spectral
+coefficients, facilitating rapid audio reconstruction through inverse Fourier transform.
+
+## Installation
+
+To use Vocos only in inference mode, install it using:
+
+```bash
+pip install vocos
+```
+
+If you wish to train the model, install it with additional dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install vocos[train]
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Reconstruct audio from mel-spectrogram
+
+```python
+import torch
+
+from vocos import Vocos
+
+vocos = Vocos.from_pretrained("charactr/vocos-mel-24khz")
+
+mel = torch.randn(1, 100, 256)  # B, C, T
+audio = vocos.decode(mel)
+```
+
+Copy-synthesis from a file:
+
+```python
+import torchaudio
+
+y, sr = torchaudio.load(YOUR_AUDIO_FILE)
+if y.size(0) > 1:  # mix to mono
+    y = y.mean(dim=0, keepdim=True)
+y = torchaudio.functional.resample(y, orig_freq=sr, new_freq=24000)
+y_hat = vocos(y)
+```
