 - Define 'config.json' for your needs. Note that, audio parameters should match your TTS model.
 - Example training call ```python speaker_encoder/train.py --config_path speaker_encoder/config.json --data_path ~/Data/Libri-TTS/train-clean-360```
-- Generate embedding vectors ```python speaker_encoder/compute_embeddings.py --use_cuda true /model/path/best_model.pth.tar model/config/path/config.json dataset/path/ output_path``` . This code parses all .wav files at the given dataset path and generates the same folder structure under the output path with the generated embedding files.
