# Thorsten-Voice · CosyVoice3

German Text-to-Speech fine-tune of [FunAudioLLM/Fun-CosyVoice3-0.5B-2512](https://huggingface.co/FunAudioLLM/Fun-CosyVoice3-0.5B-2512) on the [Thorsten-Voice 2022.10](https://www.thorsten-voice.de) dataset (12,283 German utterances).

This repository contains two fine-tuned model components:

| File | Size | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| `llm.pt` | 1.9 GB | Fine-tuned LLM (speech rhythm, prosody, speaker style) |
| `flow.pt` | 1.3 GB | Fine-tuned Flow Decoder (voice timbre, spectral characteristics) |

The HiFi-GAN vocoder (`hift.pt`) is used unchanged from the base model.

## Quickstart with Docker

The easiest way to use this model is via the official Docker container:

```bash
docker run -p 8000:8000 \
  -v cosyvoice_models:/app/CosyVoice/pretrained_models \
  thorstenvoice/cosyvoice-tts

# Then generate audio:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/tts \
     -F "text=Hallo, ich bin Thorsten. Schön, dass du da bist." \
     --output thorsten.wav
```

→ [Docker Hub: thorstenvoice/cosyvoice-tts](https://hub.docker.com/r/thorstenvoice/cosyvoice-tts)

---

## Manual Installation

### 1. Clone CosyVoice at the correct commit

```bash
git clone https://github.com/FunAudioLLM/CosyVoice.git
cd CosyVoice
git checkout ace7c47
git submodule update --init --recursive
```

### 2. Install dependencies

Python 3.10 or 3.11 recommended.

```bash
sudo apt-get install -y sox libsox-fmt-all ffmpeg
pip install setuptools --upgrade
pip install openai-whisper
grep -v "openai-whisper" requirements.txt > requirements_fixed.txt
pip install -r requirements_fixed.txt
```

### 3. Set PYTHONPATH

```bash
export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/CosyVoice:/path/to/CosyVoice/third_party/Matcha-TTS:$PYTHONPATH
```

### 4. Download models

```bash
pip install huggingface_hub

# Base model
hf download FunAudioLLM/Fun-CosyVoice3-0.5B-2512 \
  --local-dir pretrained_models/CosyVoice3-0.5B

# Thorsten fine-tuned weights
hf download Thorsten-Voice/CosyVoice3 \
  --local-dir pretrained_models/CosyVoice3-0.5B \
  --include "llm.pt" "flow.pt" "spk2info.pt" "infer_thorsten.py"
```

### 5. Generate audio

```bash
python3 infer_thorsten.py \
  --text "Hallo, ich bin Thorsten. Schön, dass du da bist." \
  --output thorsten.wav
```

## Performance

Benchmarked with these two test texts:

**Short** (~8 words):
> "Hallo, hier ist Thorsten. Schön, dass Du da bist."

**Long** (~80 words):
> "Für mich sind alle Menschen gleich, unabhängig von Geschlecht, sexueller Orientierung, Religion, Hautfarbe oder Geokoordinaten der Geburt. Ich glaube an eine globale Welt, wo jeder überall willkommen ist und freies Wissen und Bildung kostenfrei für jeden zur Verfügung steht. Ich habe meine Stimme der Allgemeinheit gespendet, in der Hoffnung darauf, dass sie in diesem Sinne genutzt wird."

| Hardware | Short text | Long text |
|----------|-----------|-----------|
| MacBook Air M1 (CPU) | 47s | 4:30 min |
| QNAP NAS Intel (CPU) | 50s | — |
| RunPod RTX 4090 (GPU) | **2.9s** | **12.9s** |

## Python 3.12 patches

**1. `cosyvoice/flow/flow.py`** — add after `conds = conds.transpose(1, 2)` in `CausalMaskedDiffWithDiT.forward()`:

```python
min_len = min(h.shape[1], feat.shape[1])
h = h[:, :min_len, :]
feat = feat[:, :min_len, :]
conds = conds[:, :, :min_len]
mask = mask[:, :min_len]
```

**2. `third_party/Matcha-TTS/matcha/utils/__init__.py`:**

```bash
echo "" > third_party/Matcha-TTS/matcha/utils/__init__.py
```
