DiffSinger
Singing Voice Synthesis via Shallow Diffusion Mechanism
DiffSinger is an open-source PyTorch implementation of a diffusion-based acoustic model for singing-voice synthesis (SVS) and also text-to-speech (TTS) in a related variant. The core idea is to view generation of a sung voice (mel-spectrogram) as a diffusion process: starting from noise, the model iteratively “denoises” while being conditioned on a music score (lyrics, pitch, musical timing). This avoids some of the typical problems of prior SVS models — like over-smoothing or unstable GAN training — and produces more realistic, expressive, and natural-sounding singing. The method introduces a “shallow diffusion” mechanism: instead of diffusing over many steps, generation begins at a shallow step determined adaptively, which leverages prior knowledge learned by a simple mel-spectrogram decoder and speeds up inference. -

VoiceFixer
General Speech Restoration
VoiceFixer is a machine-learning framework for “speech restoration”: given a degraded or distorted audio recording — with noise, clipping, low sampling rate, reverberation, or other artifacts — it attempts to recover high-fidelity, clean speech. The architecture works in two stages: first an analysis stage that tries to extract “clean” intermediate features from the noisy audio (e.g. removing noise, denoising, dereverberation, upsampling), and then a neural vocoder-based synthesis stage that reconstructs a high-quality waveform from those features. Unlike many single-purpose noise reduction tools, VoiceFixer targets a “general speech restoration” problem (GSR), capable of handling multiple types of distortions at once, which makes it suitable for old recordings, phone-call audio, amateur voice recordings, or archival media. Evaluations show that VoiceFixer significantly improves both objective and subjective audio quality compared to baseline speech-enhancement methods. -

Auto Synced & Translated Dubs
Automatically translates the text of a video based on a subtitle file
Auto-Synced-Translated-Dubs is a toolchain that automatically translates and re-dubs videos using AI voices while keeping the new speech aligned to the original timing via subtitle files. It assumes you have a human-made SRT (or similar) subtitle file; the script then uses translation services such as Google Cloud or DeepL to generate translated subtitle tracks in one or more target languages. Using the timestamps of each subtitle line, it computes the required duration of each spoken segment and synthesizes audio via neural TTS services, producing one audio clip per subtitle entry. The tool then time-stretches or compresses each TTS clip to match the original speech duration exactly, which preserves lip-sync and rhythm as closely as possible without manual editing. Finally, it combines all the clips into a single dubbed audio track that can be muxed with the original video, along with new translated subtitle files. -
