VoiceSynthAI

---

1. Introduction

VoiceSynthAI represents our latest advancement in neural text-to-speech synthesis. This version introduces significant improvements in voice quality, naturalness, and expressiveness through advanced neural vocoder technology and improved prosody modeling. The model achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple audio quality benchmarks while maintaining real-time synthesis capabilities.

Compared to our previous TTS systems, VoiceSynthAI shows remarkable improvements in emotional expression and speech naturalness. For instance, in the MOS (Mean Opinion Score) evaluation, listener ratings improved from 3.8 to 4.5 on a 5-point scale. The model now supports multi-speaker synthesis and achieves near-human naturalness in standard speech conditions.

Beyond improved synthesis quality, this version offers reduced latency, enhanced prosody control, and support for 12 different emotional speaking styles.

3. Demo & API Platform

We offer an interactive demo and API for you to experience VoiceSynthAI. Please visit our official website for more details.

4. How to Run Locally

Please refer to our code repository for detailed instructions on running VoiceSynthAI locally.

Key usage recommendations for VoiceSynthAI:

1. Speaker embeddings are supported for voice cloning.
2. Emotion tags can be added to control expressive speech.

Audio Configuration

We recommend the following audio parameters:

sample_rate: 22050
hop_length: 256
win_length: 1024
n_mels: 80

Text Preprocessing

For optimal results, use the following text normalization:

text_template = """
[speaker]: {speaker_id}
[emotion]: {emotion_type}
[text]: {input_text}
"""

Inference Settings

We recommend setting the temperature parameter $T_{sampling}$ to 0.667 for balanced quality and diversity.

Prosody Control

For prosody-controlled synthesis, use the following format where {pitch_shift}, {speed_factor} and {text} are arguments.

prosody_template = \
"""[pitch_shift]: {pitch_shift}
[speed_factor]: {speed_factor}
[text]: {text}"""
