# llama.cpp/example/tts
This example demonstrates the Text To Speech feature. It uses a
[model](https://www.outeai.com/blog/outetts-0.2-500m) from
[outeai](https://www.outeai.com/).
# llama.cpp TTS
## Quickstart
If you have built llama.cpp with SSL support you can simply run the
following command and the required models will be downloaded automatically:
```console
$ build/bin/llama-tts --tts-oute-default -p "Hello world" && aplay output.wav
```
For details about the models and how to convert them to the required format
see the following sections.
This is a tool to demonstrate audio generation capability in llama.cpp via `libmtmd`. It was added via PR [#26254](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/26254)
### Model conversion
Checkout or download the model that contains the LLM model:
```console
$ pushd models
$ git clone --branch main --single-branch --depth 1 https://huggingface.co/OuteAI/OuteTTS-0.2-500M
$ cd OuteTTS-0.2-500M && git lfs install && git lfs pull
$ popd
```
Convert the model to .gguf format:
```console
(venv) python convert_hf_to_gguf.py models/OuteTTS-0.2-500M \
--outfile models/outetts-0.2-0.5B-f16.gguf --outtype f16
```
The generated model will be `models/outetts-0.2-0.5B-f16.gguf`.
Note: this tool used to serve as a demo for OuteTTS, but it was converted to a more model-agnostic tool.
We can optionally quantize this to Q8_0 using the following command:
```console
$ build/bin/llama-quantize models/outetts-0.2-0.5B-f16.gguf \
models/outetts-0.2-0.5B-q8_0.gguf q8_0
```
The quantized model will be `models/outetts-0.2-0.5B-q8_0.gguf`.
## Common usage
Next we do something similar for the audio decoder. First download or checkout
the model for the voice decoder:
```console
$ pushd models
$ git clone --branch main --single-branch --depth 1 https://huggingface.co/novateur/WavTokenizer-large-speech-75token
$ cd WavTokenizer-large-speech-75token && git lfs install && git lfs pull
$ popd
```
This model file is a PyTorch checkpoint (.ckpt) and we first need to convert it to
huggingface format:
```console
(venv) python tools/tts/convert_pt_to_hf.py \
models/WavTokenizer-large-speech-75token/wavtokenizer_large_speech_320_24k.ckpt
...
Model has been successfully converted and saved to models/WavTokenizer-large-speech-75token/model.safetensors
Metadata has been saved to models/WavTokenizer-large-speech-75token/index.json
Config has been saved to models/WavTokenizer-large-speech-75tokenconfig.json
```
Then we can convert the huggingface format to gguf:
```console
(venv) python convert_hf_to_gguf.py models/WavTokenizer-large-speech-75token \
--outfile models/wavtokenizer-large-75-f16.gguf --outtype f16
...
INFO:hf-to-gguf:Model successfully exported to models/wavtokenizer-large-75-f16.gguf
Simple usage:
```sh
llama-tts -hf ggml-org/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base-GGUF -p "Hello world" --output out.wav
```
### Running the example
Common params:
- Sampling params such as `--top-k`, `--top-p`, `--temp`, etc.
- `-n <number_of_frames>` limits the output length, e.g. `-n 500`. Note that how many milliseconds each frame represents varies by model
- Core inference params such as `-ngl`, `-b`, `-ub`, etc.
With both of the models generated, the LLM model and the voice decoder model,
we can run the example:
```console
$ build/bin/llama-tts -m ./models/outetts-0.2-0.5B-q8_0.gguf \
-mv ./models/wavtokenizer-large-75-f16.gguf \
-p "Hello world"
...
main: audio written to file 'output.wav'
```
The output.wav file will contain the audio of the prompt. This can be heard
by playing the file with a media player. On Linux the following command will
play the audio:
```console
$ aplay output.wav
```
## Qwen3-TTS
### Running the example with llama-server
Running this example with `llama-server` is also possible and requires two
server instances to be started. One will serve the LLM model and the other
will serve the voice decoder model.
Available params:
- `--tts-lang` can be `zh`, `en`, `de`, `it`, `pt`, `es`, `ja`, `ko`, `fr`, `ru` (default: `en`)
- `--tts-speaker-file` should point to a speaker reference audio file (wav, mp3)
The LLM model server can be started with the following command:
```console
$ ./build/bin/llama-server -m ./models/outetts-0.2-0.5B-q8_0.gguf --port 8020
```
Example usage:
And the voice decoder model server can be started using:
```console
./build/bin/llama-server -m ./models/wavtokenizer-large-75-f16.gguf --port 8021 --embeddings --pooling none
```
Then we can run [tts-outetts.py](tts-outetts.py) to generate the audio.
First create a virtual environment for python and install the required
dependencies (this in only required to be done once):
```console
$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv) pip install requests numpy
```
And then run the python script using:
```conole
(venv) python ./tools/tts/tts-outetts.py http://localhost:8020 http://localhost:8021 "Hello world"
spectrogram generated: n_codes: 90, n_embd: 1282
converting to audio ...
audio generated: 28800 samples
audio written to file "output.wav"
```
And to play the audio we can again use aplay or any other media player:
```console
$ aplay output.wav
```sh
llama-tts -hf ggml-org/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base-GGUF \
-p "Hello world" \
--tts-lang english \
--tts-speaker-file speaker.mp3 \
--output out.wav
```
