Technical Deep Dive
Piper TTS: fr_FR-siwis-medium
Medium-size French female voice.
Model Details
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Architecture | VITS (end-to-end) |
| Format | ONNX |
| Language | French (France) |
| Gender | Female |
| Model Size | medium (~63 MB ONNX, ~15M params) |
| Sample Rate | 22050 Hz |
| License | CC BY 4.0 |
Note: Piper uses the terms "medium", "high", etc. to refer to model size, not output quality. Medium models (
63 MB, ~15M params) and high models (114 MB, ~28M params) both produce 22.05 kHz audio.
Usage
With piper-tts (GPL)
from piper import PiperVoice
voice = PiperVoice.load("model.onnx")
for chunk in voice.synthesize("Hello, this is a test."):
# chunk.audio_float_array contains float32 audio
pass
Standalone ONNX (MIT â no piper-tts dependency)
Requires espeak-ng installed (brew install espeak-ng / apt install espeak-ng).
