It uses a case-sensitive Negara-style phonetic/Finglish frontend and produces 22,050 Hz mono audio. ## Current release This revision replaces the earlier segmented-data v2 model with the user-selected unchunked/AvaSanj-approved 50K run. - Full checkpoint: `checkpoint/gooya-rizehpizeh-v2-unchunked-avasanj-step50000-val_mel0.4138.ckpt` - Checkpoint SHA-256: `8b52b3b6060b4698aba0c8bbd2f9b338aa6ba811d28a620e5f492c0fa1ae4d2b` - Piper/browser model: `gooya-rizehpizeh-v2.onnx` - ONNX SHA-256: `3f85f450fc21415e1eddaa0aa894c667e76d14aa9a342c4e77f1f9009b96f170` - ONNX config SHA-256: `981770210ac1aea618cb8134597127911051deabf9900824df3388f209a884fa` - Generator parameters: approximately 23.7M - Sample rate: 22,050 Hz - Speakers: 1 - Phoneme type: `text` - Symbol inventory: 256 IDs ## Training data The parent corpus comes from the approved Persian rows in [`Reza2kn/Wikipedia-FA-EN-DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Reza2kn/Wikipedia-FA-EN-DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731). - Train: 1,290 full recordings, 21.1455 hours - Parent-disjoint validation: 100 full recordings, 1.6445 hours - Untouched sealed-eval agreement slice: 253 recordings, 4.1080 hours - Recording duration: 38.68–95.96 seconds; mean 58.94 seconds - Phoneme IDs per recording: 1,711–3,423; mean 2,174.65 - AvaSanj compact CER threshold: `<= 0.12` - Train/validation/sealed-eval parent overlap: zero - Audio transform: none - Silence trimming: disabled - Segmentation/chunking: none The 253-row sealed-eval agreement slice was not consumed by training or checkpoint selection. The complete selection and hash receipt is in `training/unchunked-avasanj-agree-report.json`. ## Lineage and training The original v1.5 production ONNX had no matching resumable checkpoint. Its 350 inference-time generator tensors were reconstructed into a compatible trainable Piper checkpoint; training-only branches absent from the ONNX came from the compatible Mana template. Recovery receipts remain under `training/`. The promoted run resumed from that recovered v1.5 state and used: - BF16 mixed precision - Batch size 1 - Generator learning rate `5e-6` - Discriminator learning rate `2.5e-6` - Configured limit: 50,000 optimizer steps - Final/best validation mel: `0.4138` The exact continuation script is `training/train_unchunked_avasanj_agree_full50k.sh`. ## Validation The published ONNX is self-contained and has no external tensor file. Direct ONNX Runtime CPU inference passed on both the canonical and long colloquial probes with finite, positive-length output. The same WAVs used for human listening are included under `samples/`. - Inputs: `input`, `input_lengths`, `scales` - Output: `output` - File size: 63,516,051 bytes - Canonical sample: 4.7137 seconds - Long colloquial sample: 12.6084 seconds Machine-readable receipts are under `browser/` and `training/`. ## Inference Input must already be case-sensitive Negara-compatible phonetic text: ```bash echo "zurxAneye vahdat yek makAne varzeSi dar Sahre borujerd ast." | \ piper --model gooya-rizehpizeh-v2.onnx \ --config gooya-rizehpizeh-v2.onnx.json \ --output_file output.wav ``` For long-form narration, split at semantic sentence or clause boundaries into substantial spans and join them with boundary-aware pauses. Tiny fixed chunks tend to sound breathy and robotic. ## Limitations - G2P/Finglish quality remains the dominant source of pronunciation errors. - The approved training labels are flat Negara phoneme sequences; existing internal punctuation was not available in those labels. - Very long single-pass phoneme sequences can still collapse or omit content; use substantial semantic spans. - Proper nouns may require corrected phonetic input. ## License MIT.
