Leying Zhang, Yao Qian, Xiaofei Wang +8
Generating natural-sounding, multi-speaker dialogue is crucial for applications such as podcast creation, virtual agents, and multimedia content generation. However, existing syste…
Laugh Now Cry Later: Controlling Time-Varying Emotional States of Flow-Matching-Based Zero-Shot Text-to-Speech
Haibin Wu, Xiaofei Wang, Sefik Emre Eskimez +8
People change their tones of voice, often accompanied by nonverbal vocalizations (NVs) such as laughter and cries, to convey rich emotions. However, most text-to-speech (TTS) syste…
An Investigation of Noise Robustness for Flow-Matching-Based Zero-Shot TTS
Xiaofei Wang, Sefik Emre Eskimez, Manthan Thakker +8
Recently, zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) systems, capable of synthesizing any speaker's voice from a short audio prompt, have made rapid advancements. However, the quality of the g…
Total-Duration-Aware Duration Modeling for Text-to-Speech Systems
Sefik Emre Eskimez, Xiaofei Wang, Manthan Thakker +9
Accurate control of the total duration of generated speech by adjusting the speech rate is crucial for various text-to-speech (TTS) applications. However, the impact of adjusting t…
