The tortoise-tts-ruslan model is a tortoise model capable of speaking Russian language. The model was first finetuned on public_youtube700_val+buriy_audiobooks_2_val from Russian Open Speech To Text. The model was then finetuned on RUSLAN: Russian Spoken Language Corpus For Speech Synthesis.
The model is able to generate generic male voices, see examples. Additionally, the model is suitable for further finetuning on any Russian male voice, e.g. see a finetuned voice of Yury Dud (the finetuned model weights are not included).
The code from ai-voice-cloning was used to train the model.
