Linacodec is an audio tokenizer that compresses audio into just 12.5 tokens per second (171 bps) and decodes to 48khz audio! |
|
|
|
|
|
### Key benefits |
|
|
* Compression: 12.5 tokens/sec (60x more compressed than DAC). |
|
|
* Audio Quality: 48khz output (much clearer then 16khz/24khz which is the standard). |
|
|
* Encoder Speed: 200x realtime. |
|
|
* Decoder Speed: 400x realtime(even faster with batching) |
|
|
* Many Tasks: Indirectly even supports voice conversion, audio super-resolution, and audio denoising! |
|
|
|
|
|
### Why is this even useful? |
|
|
Audio tokenizers directly contribute to speed, quality, and capability of TTS/ASR models. LinaCodec massively improves upon previous codecs in these areas. |
|
|
* Inference Speed: Enables TTS models to run 800x realtime, 8x faster than [MiraTTS](https://github.com/ysharma3501)! |
|
|
* Fast training: High-quality TTS models can be trained in less then 1 day. |
|
|
* Versatile: Works for both Text-to-Speech and Speech-to-Text unlike most other codecs. |
