# SingingSDS: Role-Playing Singing Spoken Dialogue System
**A role-playing singing dialogue system that converts speech input into character-based singing output.**
 [](https://github.com/SingingSDS/SingingSDS) [](https://huggingface.co/spaces/espnet/SingingSDS) [](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZpUJJbwp2WvtPBenG5D3h09qKIrt24ui)
## π Overview
SingingSDS is an innovative role-playing singing dialogue system that seamlessly converts natural speech input into character-based singing output. The system integrates automatic speech recognition (ASR), large language models (LLM), and singing voice synthesis (SVS) to create an immersive conversational singing experience.
SingingSDS Web Interface: Interactive singing dialogue system with character visualization, audio I/O, evaluation metrics, and flexible configuration options.
## π Installation
### Requirements
- Python 3.10 or 3.11
- CUDA (optional, for GPU acceleration)
### Install Dependencies
#### Option 1: Using Conda (Recommended)
```bash
conda create -n singingsds python=3.11
conda activate singingsds
conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=11.8 -c pytorch -c nvidia
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
#### Option 2: Using uv (Fast & Modern)
First install uv:
```bash
# On macOS/Linux:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# On Windows:
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
# Or via pip:
pip install uv
```
Then install dependencies:
```bash
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
uv pip install -r requirements.txt
```
#### Option 3: Using pip only
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
#### Option 4: Using pip with virtual environment
```bash
python -m venv singingsds_env
# On Windows:
singingsds_env\Scripts\activate
# On macOS/Linux:
source singingsds_env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## π» Usage
### Command Line Interface (CLI)
#### Example Usage
```bash
python cli.py \
--query_audio tests/audio/hello.wav \
--config_path config/cli/yaoyin_default.yaml \
--output_audio outputs/yaoyin_hello.wav \
--eval_results_csv outputs/yaoyin_test.csv
```
#### Inference-Only Mode
Run minimal inference without evaluation.
```bash
python cli.py \
--query_audio tests/audio/hello.wav \
--config_path config/cli/yaoyin_default_infer_only.yaml \
--output_audio outputs/yaoyin_hello.wav
```
#### Parameter Description
- `--query_audio`: Input audio file path (required)
- `--config_path`: Configuration file path (default: config/cli/yaoyin_default.yaml)
- `--output_audio`: Output audio file path (required)
### π Web Interface (Gradio)
Start the web interface:
```bash
python app.py
```
Then visit the displayed address in your browser to use the graphical interface.
