X-Translator: A Real-Time Multilingual Speaker-Aware Speech-to-Speech Translation System
Yuxiang Zhao, Yichi Zhang, Yanjie An +10
Real-time speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) systems must balance translation quality, latency, speech naturalness, and speaker consistency. Publicly documented S2ST systems have…
Semantic-VAE: Semantic-Alignment Latent Representation for Better Speech Synthesis
Zhikang Niu, Shujie Hu, Jeongsoo Choi +8
Mel-spectrograms have been widely used in zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS); their inherent redundancy leads to inefficiency in text-speech alignment. Compact VAE-based latent represe…
WavTTS: Towards High-Quality Zero-Shot TTS via Direct Raw Waveform Modeling
Wenxi Chen, Dongya Jia, Yushen Chen +11
Recently, diffusion models operating on VAE latents or mel-spectrograms have become the dominant paradigm for zero-shot TTS. Although these compressed representations improve gener…
X-Voice: Enabling Everyone to Speak 30 Languages via Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Voice Cloning
Rixi Xu, Qingyu Liu, Haitao Li +10
In this paper, we present X-Voice, a 0.4B multilingual zero-shot voice cloning model that clones arbitrary voices and enables everyone to speak 30 languages. X-Voice is trained on…
WavCube: Unifying Speech Representation for Understanding and Generation via Semantic-Acoustic Joint Modeling
Guanrou Yang, Tian Tan, Qian Chen +12
Integrating speech understanding and generation is a pivotal step toward building unified speech models. However, the different representations required for these two tasks current…
UniSonate: A Unified Model for Speech, Music, and Sound Effect Generation with Text Instructions
Chunyu Qiang, Xiaopeng Wang, Kang Yin +11
Generative audio modeling has largely been fragmented into specialized tasks, text-to-speech (TTS), text-to-music (TTM), and text-to-audio (TTA), each operating under heterogeneous…
