The UnivNet model is a state-of-the-art neural vocoder which synthesizes audio waveforms from full-band MEL spectrograms, introduced in "UnivNet: A Neural Vocoder with Multi-Resolution Spectrogram Discriminators for High-Fidelity Waveform Generation" by Won Jang, Dan Lim, Jaesam Yoon, Bongwan Kim, Juntae Kim. UnivNet is a generative adversarial network (GAN) in which the generator is trained to convert real (or fake, during training) log MEL spectrograms to waveforms, and the discriminator is trained to classify whether input waveforms are real or fake. From the original paper abstract: > Most neural vocoders employ band-limited mel-spectrograms to generate waveforms. If full-band spectral features are used as the input, the vocoder can be provided with as much acoustic information as possible. However, in some models employing full-band mel-spectrograms, an over-smoothing problem occurs as part of which non-sharp spectrograms are generated. To address this problem, we propose UnivNet, a neural vocoder that synthesizes high-fidelity waveforms in real time. Inspired by works in the field of voice activity detection, we added a multi-resolution spectrogram discriminator that employs multiple linear spectrogram magnitudes computed using various parameter sets. Using full-band mel-spectrograms as input, we expect to generate high-resolution signals by adding a discriminator that employs spectrograms of multiple resolutions as the input. In an evaluation on a dataset containing information on hundreds of speakers, UnivNet obtained the best objective and subjective results among competing models for both seen and unseen speakers. These results, including the best subjective score for text-to-speech, demonstrate the potential for fast adaptation to new speakers without a need for training from scratch. This checkpoint was released as part of an unofficial implementation by maum-ai (on which the `transformers` implementation is also based). As far as I know, there is no official model or code release by the original authors from Kakao Enterprise.

Selection guide & FAQ

How should API prices be compared?+

Separate input, output and cache rates, then estimate the same workload. Image, audio and video rates may use items, duration or resolution rather than tokens.

Do open weights mean free commercial use?+

Not necessarily. Check each version’s license, commercial restrictions and policies. Self-hosting also incurs compute and maintenance costs.

Is the top-ranked model the best for me?+

Rankings depend on tasks, versions and methods. Compare accuracy, latency, reliability and costs on your own workload.
