Docker

Docker text to speech server and a collection of hidden semi-Markov model (HSMM) voices for various languages in a multi-platform Docker image.

Supported Platforms:

• amd64 - laptops, desktops, servers
• arm/v7 - Raspberry Pi 2/3
• arm64 - Raspberry Pi 3+/4

$ docker run -it -p 59125:59125 synesthesiam/marytts:5.2

You should now be able to access the server at http://localhost:59125

Beware that this may consume a lot of RAM on a Raspberry Pi!

You can control which voices are loaded with -v or --voice arguments:

$ docker run -it -p 59125:59125 synesthesiam/marytts:5.2 --voice cmu-slt-hsmm --voice cmu-rms-hsmm

This will only loaded the necessary JARs for the specified voices, which may help conserve RAM on a Raspberry Pi.

A list of voices can be obtained with:

$ docker run -it synesthesiam/marytts:5.2 --voices
