Rabe3/saudi-xtts-v2

Saudi XTTS-v2

A fine-tuned XTTS-v2 model for Saudi Arabic / English code-switching text-to-speech, with a single female speaker voice ("Hoda").

Model Details

Detail	Value
Base model	coqui/XTTS-v2
Fine-tuned on	~50 000 synthetic Saudi Arabic sentences
Speaker	Hoda (female, Saudi)
Languages	Arabic (ar) + English (en)
Sample rate	24 000 Hz
Training dialect	Najdi / Saudi colloquial Arabic (ars)
Precision	fp16
Checkpoint step	320 190

Training Data

The model was trained on ~50 000 synthetically generated sentences covering:

• Saudi dialect corpus segments (TaghreedT/SDC, ~60%)
• Code-switching templates mixing Saudi Arabic and English (~24%)
• Number verbalization sentences — digits rendered in Saudi colloquial words (~16%)

Audio was synthesized with the lahgtna-omnivoice-v2 TTS system using the Najdi Arabic (ars) voice.

Quick Start

from TTS.api import TTS

tts = TTS(model_path="Rabe3/saudi-xtts-v2", progress_bar=True)

tts.tts_to_file(
    text="كيف الحال؟ وش قاعد تسوي اليوم؟",
    speaker_wav="reference_audios/hoda.wav",
    language="ar",
    file_path="output.wav",
)

Or using the XTTS model directly:

from TTS.tts.configs.xtts_config import XttsConfig
from TTS.tts.models.xtts import Xtts

config = XttsConfig()
config.load_json("config.json")

model = Xtts.init_from_config(config)
model.load_checkpoint(
    config,
    checkpoint_dir=".",   # directory containing model.pth, dvae.pth, etc.
    use_deepspeed=False,
)
model.cuda()

outputs = model.synthesize(
    text="أبغى أقول لك عن the new project اللي قاعدين نشتغل عليه",
    config=config,
    speaker_wav="reference_audios/hoda.wav",
    language="ar",
)
