Jets Text-to-Speech Model validated for Unity Sentis

This is a text to speech model called Jets. It takes in a text string which you convert to phonemes using a dictionary and then outputs a wav to play the voice.

How to Use

• Create a new scene in Unity 2023
• Install com.unity.sentis version 1.3.0-pre.3 package
• Put the c# script on the Main Camera
• Put the sentis file and the phoneme_dict.txt file in the Assets/StreamingAssets folder
• Add an AudioSource component on the Main Camera
• Set the inputText string for what you want it to say
• Press play

Information

This version uses a phoneme dictionary to convert the text into a string of phonemes. There are other ways to do this, for example using another model, or heuristics.

Since we are using a simple dictionary it has no way of distinguishing heteronyms (two words with the same spelling but different pronounciation).
