在人工智能应用蓬勃发展的今天,文本转语音(Text-to-Speech,TTS)技术已经渗透到我们生活的方方面面。
从智能助手、有声读物到无障碍服务,TTS 正在重塑人机交互的方式。
作为一门以高性能和安全性著称的编程语言,Rust 在构建 TTS 服务方面展现出独特的优势。
本文将深入探讨如何使用 Rust 构建一个高效、稳定的 TTS 语音合成服务。
TTS 服务通常需要处理高并发的实时请求,同时还要保证语音合成的低延迟。
在传统的技术栈中,开发者往往需要在 Python 的易用性和 Go/C++ 的性能之间做出权衡。
Rust 的出现改变了这一局面:
在开源社区中,有几个 TTS 项目值得关注:
一个典型的 TTS 服务通常包含以下组件:

为了降低集成成本,建议采用 OpenAI TTS API 的接口设计。这种设计已经被业界广泛接受,新服务可以无缝替换现有方案:
POST /v1/audio/speech
Content-Type: application/json
{
"model": "tts-model-name",
"input": "你好,世界!",
"voice": "zh-CN-Xiaoxiao",
"speed": 1.0,
"response_format": "mp3"
}
这种接口设计的优势在于:
首先,创建一个新的 Rust 项目并配置 Cargo.toml:
[package]
name = "rust-tts-server"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2024"
[dependencies]
axum = "0.7"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
serde_json = "1.0"
clap = { version = "4.4", features = ["derive"] }
tracing = "0.1"
tracing-subscriber = "0.3"
base64 = "0.22"
uuid = { version = "1.6", features = ["v4"] }
定义请求和响应的数据结构是构建 API 的第一步:
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
#[derive(Deserialize, Debug)]
#[serde(default)]
pub struct SpeechRequest {
pub model: Option<String>,
pub input: String,
pub voice: Option<String>,
pub speed: Option<f32>,
pub response_format: Option<String>,
pub steps: Option<u32>,
pub method: Option<String>,
pub cfg_strength: Option<f32>,
}
impl Default for SpeechRequest {
fn default() -> Self {
Self {
model: None,
input: String::new(),
voice: None,
speed: Some(1.0),
response_format: Some("wav".to_string()),
steps: Some(8),
method: Some("rk4".to_string()),
cfg_strength: Some(2.0),
}
}
}
#[derive(Serialize)]
pub struct SpeechResponse {
pub object: String,
pub model: String,
pub audio_base64: String,
pub duration: f64,
pub timing: Timing,
}
#[derive(Serialize)]
pub struct Timing {
pub generation: f64,
}
TTS 推理是整个服务的核心模块。由于许多优秀的 TTS 模型都是用 Python 编写的,我们需要考虑两种集成方案:
方案一:调用外部 CLI 命令
对于已经安装 TTS CLI 的场景,可以通过 tokio::process::Command 调用:
use std::fs;
use std::path::PathBuf;
use tokio::process::Command;
use uuid::Uuid;
const SAMPLE_RATE: f64 = 24000.0;
const BYTES_PER_SAMPLE: f64 = 4.0;
pub struct AppState {
pub model_name: String,
pub quantization: Option<i32>,
}
fn generate_output_path() -> PathBuf {
let temp_dir = std::env::temp_dir();
temp_dir.join(format!("tts_output_{}.wav", Uuid::new_v4()))
}
fn build_command_args(output_file: &Path, state: &AppState, request: &SpeechRequest) -> Vec<String> {
let mut args = vec![
"--text".to_string(),
request.input.clone(),
"--output".to_string(),
output_file.display().to_string(),
"--steps".to_string(),
request.steps.unwrap_or(8).to_string(),
];
if state.model_name != "default" {
args.push("--model".to_string());
args.push(state.model_name.clone());
}
if let Some(q) = state.quantization {
args.push("--q".to_string());
args.push(q.to_string());
}
args
}
pub async fn run_tts_inference(
state: &AppState,
request: &SpeechRequest,
) -> Result<(Vec<u8>, f64, f64), String> {
let output_file = generate_output_path();
let start_time = std::time::Instant::now();
let cmd_args = build_command_args(&output_file, state, request);
let output = Command::new("tts-cli")
.args(&cmd_args)
.output()
.await
.map_err(|e| format!("Failed to execute TTS command: {}", e))?;
if !output.status.success() {
let stderr = String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stderr);
return Err(format!("TTS command failed: {}", stderr));
}
let audio_data = fs::read(&output_file)
.map_err(|e| format!("Failed to read output file: {}", e))?;
let _ = fs::remove_file(&output_file);
let duration = audio_data.len() as f64 / (SAMPLE_RATE * BYTES_PER_SAMPLE);
let gen_time = start_time.elapsed().as_secs_f64();
Ok((audio_data, duration, gen_time))
}
方案二:使用 PyO3 绑定 Python 库
对于需要深度定制的场景,可以使用 PyO3 直接调用 Python TTS 库:
use pyo3::prelude::*;
#[pyfunction]
fn synthesize_speech(text: &str, voice: &str) -> PyResult<Vec<u8>> {
Python::with_gil(|py| {
let tts_module = PyModule::import(py, "tts")?;
let result = tts_module
.call1("synthesize", (text, voice))?
.extract()?;
Ok(result)
})
}
使用 axum 框架构建 RESTful API:
use axum::{
Router,
extract::{Json, State},
http::header,
response::IntoResponse,
routing::{get, post},
};
use base64::Engine;
use serde_json::json;
pub fn create_router(state: AppState) -> Router {
Router::new()
.route("/", get(|| async { Json(json!({ "name": "TTS API", "version": "1.0.0" })) }))
.route("/v1/audio/speech", post(create_speech))
.with_state(state)
}
async fn create_speech(
State(state): State<AppState>,
Json(request): Json<SpeechRequest>,
) -> Result<impl IntoResponse, String> {
match run_tts_inference(&state, &request).await {
Ok((audio_data, duration, gen_time)) => {
let format = request.response_format.unwrap_or_else(|| "wav".to_string());
let media_type = format!("audio/{}", format);
let mut response = axum::http::Response::new(audio_data);
response.headers_mut().insert(header::CONTENT_TYPE, media_type.parse().unwrap());
response.headers_mut().insert("x-audio-duration", format!("{:.2}", duration).parse().unwrap());
response.headers_mut().insert("x-generation-time", format!("{:.2}", gen_time).parse().unwrap());
Ok(response)
}
Err(e) => Err(e),
}
}
使用 clap 库解析命令行参数:
use clap::Parser;
use std::net::SocketAddr;
use tracing::info;
#[derive(Parser, Debug)]
#[command(name = "rust-tts-server")]
struct Args {
/// Server port
#[arg(short, long, default_value = "8000")]
port: u16,
/// Host to bind
#[arg(short, long, default_value = "0.0.0.0")]
host: String,
/// TTS model name
#[arg(long, default_value = "default")]
model: String,
/// Quantization bits (4 or 8)
#[arg(short, long)]
quantization: Option<i32>,
}
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
tracing_subscriber::fmt::init();
let args = Args::parse();
let state = AppState::new(args.model, args.quantization);
let app = create_router(state);
let addr: SocketAddr = format!("{}:{}", args.host, args.port)
.parse()
.expect("Invalid address");
info!("TTS Server starting on http://{}", addr);
info!("Endpoints:");
info!(" POST /v1/audio/speech - Generate speech (binary audio)");
info!(" POST /v1/audio/speech/base64 - Generate speech (JSON response)");
info!(" GET /v1/models - List models");
info!(" GET /health - Health check");
let listener = tokio::net::TcpListener::bind(&addr).await.unwrap();
axum::serve(listener, app).await.unwrap();
}
Rust 的 async 运行时提供了两种主要的并发模型:
// 方案一:单线程处理所有请求(适合 I/O 密集型任务)
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let app = create_router(AppState::new());
axum::serve(TcpListener::bind("0.0.0.0:8000").await.unwrap(), app).await.unwrap();
}
// 方案二:多线程工作池(适合 CPU 密集型任务)
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let (tx, mut rx) = tokio::sync::mpsc::channel::<Request>(100);
// 启动多个工作线程处理 TTS 推理
for _ in 0..num_cpus::get() {
tokio::spawn(async move {
while let Some(req) = rx.recv().await {
let _ = process_tts_request(req).await;
}
});
}
// HTTP 服务器仅负责接收请求
let app = Router::new()
.route("/v1/audio/speech", post(move |req| handle_request(req, tx.clone())))
.with_state(());
}
use bytes::Bytes;
use tokio::fs::File;
use tokio::io::{AsyncReadExt, BufReader};
async fn stream_audio_response(file_path: &str) -> impl IntoResponse {
let file = File::open(file_path).await.unwrap();
let mut buf = BufReader::new(file);
let mut chunk = Vec::new();
let stream = async_stream::stream! {
while let Ok(_) = buf.read_to_end(&mut chunk).await {
if chunk.is_empty() {
break;
}
yield Bytes::from(chunk.clone());
chunk.clear();
}
};
axum::response::StreamResponse::new(stream)
.header(header::CONTENT_TYPE, "audio/wav")
}
use std::time::Duration;
use tokio::sync::Semaphore;
pub struct RateLimiter {
semaphore: Semaphore,
timeout: Duration,
}
impl RateLimiter {
pub fn new(max_concurrent: usize, timeout_secs: u64) -> Self {
Self {
semaphore: Semaphore::new(max_concurrent),
timeout: Duration::from_secs(timeout_secs),
}
}
pub async fn acquire(&self) -> Result<OwnedPermit, String> {
self.semaphore
.try_acquire_owned(|| {})
.map_err(|_| "Rate limit exceeded")?;
Ok(OwnedPermit(self.semaphore.clone()))
}
}
struct OwnedPermit(Semaphore);
impl Drop for OwnedPermit {
fn drop(&mut self) {
// SemaphorePermit 会自动释放,无需手动处理
}
}

集成 Prometheus 指标:
use prometheus::{IntCounter, IntGauge, Registry, TextEncoder};
lazy_static::lazy_static! {
static ref REQUESTS_TOTAL: IntCounter =
IntCounter::new("tts_requests_total", "Total number of TTS requests").unwrap();
static ref REQUEST_DURATION: HistogramVec =
HistogramVec::new(HistogramOpts::new("tts_request_duration_seconds", "Request duration"), &["status"]).unwrap();
static ref ACTIVE_REQUESTS: IntGauge =
IntGauge::new("tts_active_requests", "Number of active requests").unwrap();
}
async fn metrics() -> impl IntoResponse {
let encoder = TextEncoder::new();
let metric_families = prometheus::gather();
let mut buffer = Vec::new();
encoder.encode(&metric_families, &mut buffer).unwrap();
String::from_utf8(buffer).unwrap()
}
使用 Rust 构建 TTS 服务是一项既有挑战性又充满成就感的工作。
通过本文的介绍,我们了解了:
随着 Rust 生态的不断成熟,我们有理由相信会有越来越多的 AI 服务选择 Rust 作为后端开发语言。
希望本文能够为你在 Rust 语音服务开发之路上提供一些有价值的参考。
