NemotronLabs VoiceChat: An Open Full-duplex Speech-to-Speech Model with Tool Calling Capabilities
Jagadeesh Balam, Travis Bartley, Edresson Casanova +52
We introduce NemotronLabs VoiceChat, an open full-duplex speech-to-speech model with native tool-calling capabilities. NemotronLabs VoiceChat combines a streaming speech encoder an…
VoiceChat-TTS: A Low-Latency Continuous Speech Synthesis Model for Interactive Agents
Edresson Casanova, Jaehyeon Kim, Mariana Graterol Fuenmayor +17
Spoken dialogue is a natural form of human--computer interaction, yet most speech language models remain limited to turn-based operation and lack real-time adaptability, such as us…
MagpieTTS-LF: Inference-Time Long-Form Speech Generation Without Training on Long-Form data
Subhankar Ghosh, Jason Li, Paarth Neekhara +4
Neural Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems achieve remarkable quality on short utterances but long-form speech generation shows prosodic drift, speaker inconsistencies and sentence bounda…
Align2Speak: Improving TTS for Low Resource Languages via ASR-Guided Online Preference Optimization
Shehzeen Hussain, Paarth Neekhara, Xuesong Yang +7
Developing high-quality text-to-speech (TTS) systems for low-resource languages is challenging due to the scarcity of paired text and speech data. In contrast, automatic speech rec…
Frame-Stacked Local Transformers For Efficient Multi-Codebook Speech Generation
Roy Fejgin, Paarth Neekhara, Xuesong Yang +6
Speech generation models based on large language models (LLMs) typically operate on discrete acoustic codes, which differ fundamentally from text tokens due to their multicodebook…
NanoCodec: Towards High-Quality Ultra Fast Speech LLM Inference
Edresson Casanova, Paarth Neekhara, Ryan Langman +6
Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly advanced audio processing by leveraging audio codecs to discretize audio into tokens, enabling the application of language modeling…
HiFiTTS-2: A Large-Scale High Bandwidth Speech Dataset
Ryan Langman, Xuesong Yang, Paarth Neekhara +4
This paper introduces HiFiTTS-2, a large-scale speech dataset designed for high-bandwidth speech synthesis. The dataset is derived from LibriVox audiobooks, and contains approximat…
SALM-Duplex: Efficient and Direct Duplex Modeling for Speech-to-Speech Language Model
Ke Hu, Ehsan Hosseini-Asl, Chen Chen +7
Spoken dialogue is an intuitive form of human-computer interaction, yet current speech language models often remain constrained to turn-based exchanges, lacking real-time adaptabil…
Koel-TTS: Enhancing LLM based Speech Generation with Preference Alignment and Classifier Free Guidance
Shehzeen Hussain, Paarth Neekhara, Xuesong Yang +6
While autoregressive speech token generation models produce speech with remarkable variety and naturalness, their inherent lack of controllability often results in issues such as h…
TTS-Transducer: End-to-End Speech Synthesis with Neural Transducer
Vladimir Bataev, Subhankar Ghosh, Vitaly Lavrukhin +1
This work introduces TTS-Transducer - a novel architecture for text-to-speech, leveraging the strengths of audio codec models and neural transducers. Transducers, renowned for thei…
Low Frame-rate Speech Codec: a Codec Designed for Fast High-quality Speech LLM Training and Inference
Edresson Casanova, Ryan Langman, Paarth Neekhara +5
Large language models (LLMs) have significantly advanced audio processing through audio codecs that convert audio into discrete tokens, enabling the application of language modelin…
Improving Robustness of LLM-based Speech Synthesis by Learning Monotonic Alignment
Paarth Neekhara, Shehzeen Hussain, Subhankar Ghosh +4
Large Language Model (LLM) based text-to-speech (TTS) systems have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in handling large speech datasets and generating natural speech for new spea…
Spectral Codecs: Improving Non-Autoregressive Speech Synthesis with Spectrogram-Based Audio Codecs
Ryan Langman, Ante Jukić, Kunal Dhawan +2
Historically, most speech models in machine-learning have used the mel-spectrogram as a speech representation. Recently, discrete audio tokens produced by neural audio codecs have…
