| 1 | +# Speech API |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +vLLM-Omni provides an OpenAI-compatible API for text-to-speech (TTS) generation using Qwen3-TTS models. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Each server instance runs a single model (specified at startup via `vllm serve <model> --omni`). |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## Quick Start |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +### Start the Server |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +```bash |
| 12 | +# CustomVoice model (predefined speakers) |
| 13 | +vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-CustomVoice \ |
| 14 | + --stage-configs-path vllm_omni/model_executor/stage_configs/qwen3_tts.yaml \ |
| 15 | + --omni --port 8000 --trust-remote-code --enforce-eager |
| 16 | +``` |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +### Generate Speech |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +**Using curl:** |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +```bash |
| 23 | +curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/v1/audio/speech \ |
| 24 | + -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ |
| 25 | + -d '{ |
| 26 | + "input": "Hello, how are you?", |
| 27 | + "voice": "vivian", |
| 28 | + "language": "English" |
| 29 | + }' --output output.wav |
| 30 | +``` |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +**Using Python:** |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +```python |
| 35 | +import httpx |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +response = httpx.post( |
| 38 | + "http://localhost:8000/v1/audio/speech", |
| 39 | + json={ |
| 40 | + "input": "Hello, how are you?", |
| 41 | + "voice": "vivian", |
| 42 | + "language": "English", |
| 43 | + }, |
| 44 | + timeout=300.0, |
| 45 | +) |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +with open("output.wav", "wb") as f: |
| 48 | + f.write(response.content) |
| 49 | +``` |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +**Using OpenAI SDK:** |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +```python |
| 54 | +from openai import OpenAI |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1", api_key="none") |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +response = client.audio.speech.create( |
| 59 | + model="Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-CustomVoice", |
| 60 | + voice="vivian", |
| 61 | + input="Hello, how are you?", |
| 62 | +) |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +response.stream_to_file("output.wav") |
| 65 | +``` |
| 66 | + |

| 230 | +Invalid parameters: |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +```json |

| 242 | + |
| 243 | +### 404 Not Found |
| 244 | + |
| 245 | +Model not found: |
| 246 | + |
| 247 | +```json |
| 248 | +{ |
| 249 | + "error": { |
| 250 | + "message": "The model `xxx` does not exist.", |

| 254 | + } |
| 255 | +} |
| 256 | +``` |
| 257 | + |
| 258 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 259 | + |
| 260 | +### "TTS model did not produce audio output" |
| 261 | + |
| 262 | +Ensure you're using the correct model variant for your task type: |
| 263 | +- CustomVoice task → CustomVoice model |
| 264 | +- VoiceDesign task → VoiceDesign model |
| 265 | +- Base task → Base model |
| 266 | + |
| 267 | +### Server Not Running |
| 268 | + |
| 269 | +```bash |
| 270 | +# Check if server is responding |
| 271 | +curl http://localhost:8000/v1/audio/voices |
| 272 | +``` |
| 273 | + |
| 274 | +### Out of Memory |
| 275 | + |
| 276 | +If you encounter OOM errors: |
| 277 | +1. Use smaller model variant: `Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-0.6B-CustomVoice` |
| 278 | +2. Reduce `--gpu-memory-utilization` |
| 279 | + |
| 280 | +### Unsupported Speaker |
| 281 | + |
| 282 | +Use `/v1/audio/voices` to list available voices for the loaded model. |
| 283 | + |
| 284 | +## Development |
| 285 | + |
| 286 | +Enable debug logging: |
| 287 | + |
| 288 | +```bash |
| 289 | +vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-CustomVoice \ |
| 290 | + --stage-configs-path vllm_omni/model_executor/stage_configs/qwen3_tts.yaml \ |
| 291 | + --omni --uvicorn-log-level debug |
| 292 | +``` |
