# F5-TTS: Fine-Tuned Arabic Speech Synthesis Model
**License:** CC BY-NC 4.0
**Base Model:** SWivid/F5-TTS
## Overview
This project fine-tunes the F5-TTS model for high-quality Arabic speech synthesis, incorporating regional diversity in pronunciation and accents. The fine-tuning process is ongoing, and temporary checkpoints are provided as progress updates. Future iterations will include improved models with enhanced accuracy and naturalness.
## License
This model is released under the **CC BY-NC 4.0** license, which allows free usage, modification, and distribution for **non-commercial** purposes.
## Datasets
Training is based on the **Common Voice Arabic Dataset**, a crowdsourced dataset featuring diverse Arabic accents and dialects. Additional datasets may be incorporated in future updates to improve dialectal coverage and pronunciation accuracy.
## Model Information
- **Base Model:** SWivid/F5-TTS
- **Current Status:** Ongoing fine-tuning (Temporary Checkpoints Available)
- **Training Configuration:**
- **Batch Size:** TBD
- **Max Samples:** TBD
- **Training Steps:** TBD
- *(Final training parameters will be updated upon completion of fine-tuning.)*
## Usage Instructions
To use the fine-tuned Arabic model, follow these steps:
### Method 1: Manual Model Replacement
1. **Run the F5-TTS Application**
- Start the application and locate the model file path displayed in the terminal. Example:
```
model : C:\Users\yourname\.cache\huggingface\hub\models--SWivid--F5-TTS\snapshots\995ff41929c08ff968786b448a384330438b5cb6\F5TTS_Base\model_1200000.safetensors
```
2. **Replace the Model File**
- Navigate to the displayed file location.
- Rename the existing model file:
```
model_1200000.safetensors → model_1200000.safetensors.bak
```
- Download the **Arabic checkpoint** and **vocabulary files** from this repository and place them in the same directory.
3. **Restart the Application**
- Relaunch the F5-TTS application to load the Arabic fine-tuned model.
### Alternative Methods
- **GitHub Repository:** Follow the [F5-TTS setup instructions](https://github.com/SWivid/F5-TTS), but replace the default model with the Arabic checkpoint and vocabulary files provided here.
## Contributions & Collaboration
This model is a **work in progress**, and community contributions are highly encouraged! Suggestions, improvements, and dataset contributions are welcome to refine its performance across different Arabic dialects.
### Recommendations for Better Results
- Use **clear reference audio** with minimal background noise.
- Ensure **balanced audio levels** for improved synthesis quality.
- Contributions in **dataset expansion** and **model evaluation** are highly valuable.
