| 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. | |

| Usage Instructions | |
| To use the fine-tuned Arabic model, follow these steps: | |
| Method 1: Manual Model Replacement | |
| Run the F5-TTS Application | |
| Start the application and locate the model file path displayed in the terminal. Example: | |
| less | |
| Copy | |
| Edit | |
| model : C:\Users\yourname\.cache\huggingface\hub\models--SWivid--F5-TTS\snapshots\995ff41929c08ff968786b448a384330438b5cb6\F5TTS_Base\model_1200000.safetensors | |
| Replace the Model File | |
| Navigate to the displayed file location. | |
| Rename the existing model file: | |
| Copy | |
| Edit | |
| model_1200000.safetensors → model_1200000.safetensors.bak | |
| Download the Arabic checkpoint and vocabulary files from this repository and place them in the same directory. | |
| 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, 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. | |
