Une IA (LLM) qui génère des voix audio françaises avec LM Studio ?! (Il faut qu'on teste ça !)

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will explore how to use LM Studio to generate French audio voices using the experimental model ORPHEUS TTS. This guide will walk you through the installation process, model setup, and testing, allowing you to create text-to-speech outputs in French without needing a server.

Step 1: Installation of LM Studio

1. Visit the LM Studio website at lmstudio.ai.
2. Download and install LM Studio on your machine.
3. Ensure your system meets the requirements, particularly having at least 4 GB of VRAM.

Tip: If you encounter issues during installation, check the official documentation or community forums for troubleshooting advice.

Step 2: Setting Up ORPHEUS-FastAPI

1. Go to the ORPHEUS-FastAPI GitHub repository at Orpheus-FastAPI.
2. Follow the instructions to clone the repository to your local machine.
3. Install the necessary dependencies as outlined in the README file.

Common Pitfall: Make sure all required packages are correctly installed to avoid runtime errors.

Step 3: Download the GGUF Model

1. Locate the GGUF model file from the appropriate source (often found in the project’s documentation or repository).
2. Download the model and save it to a designated folder on your device.

Tip: Keep track of the model file location as you will need to reference it in later steps.

Step 4: Testing the English Model

1. Use the provided command to test the English version of the model.
2. Enter sample text to evaluate the voice output quality.

your-command-to-run-the-model --text "Hello, this is a test."

Note: This step ensures that the setup is functioning before switching to French.

Step 5: Testing the Model with French Text

1. Input a sample French text to see how the model performs.

your-command-to-run-the-model --text "Bonjour, ceci est un test."

2. Listen to the output and note any discrepancies or issues.

Issue Alert: Be aware that the French model may have specific challenges that differ from the English model.

Step 6: Troubleshooting the French Model

1. If the French model does not perform as expected, check the logs for error messages.
2. Review the model settings and ensure that all configurations are set correctly for French output.

Tip: Sometimes, adjusting parameters can improve the output quality.

Step 7: Testing the French Model Again

1. After making necessary adjustments, rerun the French text test.
2. Evaluate the audio output again for clarity and correctness.

Step 8: Exploring Plugin Options

1. Investigate available plugins that may enhance functionality or improve voice generation.
2. Follow the respective instructions for installing and testing any plugins you find useful.

Tip: Look for community recommendations for the best plugins that work with ORPHEUS TTS.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we successfully set up LM Studio to generate French audio using the ORPHEUS TTS model. You learned how to install the necessary software, download models, and troubleshoot issues. As a next step, consider experimenting with different text inputs and exploring additional plugins to enhance your audio generation experience. Happy experimenting!
