# Model Card for VoXtream2

VoXtream2 is a zero-shot full-stream TTS model with dynamic speaking-rate control that can be updated mid-utterance on the fly.

### Key features

- **Dynamic speed control**: Distribution matching and Classifier-free guidance allow for a fine-grained speaking rate control, which can be adjusted as the model generates speech.
- **Streaming performance**: Works **4x** times faster than real-time and achieves **74 ms** first packet latency in a full-stream on a consumer GPU.
- **Translingual capability**: Prompt text masking enables support of acoustic prompts in any language.

## Get started

### Usage

* Prompt audio: a file containing 3-10 seconds of the target voice. The maximum supported length is 20 seconds (longer audio will be trimmed).
* Text: What you want the model to say. The maximum supported length is 1000 characters (longer text will be trimmed).
* Speaking rate (optional): target speaking rate in syllables per second.

#### Output streaming
```bash
python voxtream/run.py \
    --prompt-audio assets/audio/english_male.wav \
    --text "In general, however, some method is then needed to evaluate each approximation." \
    --output "output_stream.wav"
```

#### Full streaming (slow speech, 2 syllables per second)
```bash
python voxtream/run.py \
    --prompt-audio assets/audio/english_female.wav \
    --text "Staff do not always do enough to prevent violence." \
    --output "full_stream_2sps.wav" \
    --full-stream \
    --spk-rate 2.0
```

* Note: Initial run may take some time to download model weights and warmup model graph.

## Training Data

The model was trained on [Emilia](https://huggingface.co/datasets/amphion/Emilia-Dataset) and [HiFiTTS2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nvidia/hifitts-2) datasets.
