Speech Synthesis 2.0

With this release, the speech synthesis will get even better! We have added changes to how we train the model resulting in even better results on longer fragments. You can head to usualpanel, to test it out straight away! Our core changes include:
  • Support for cased input, this makes it easier for the model to read names (like OpenAI or ChatGPT), construct pauses between fragments or names
  • Longer & better training - the model performs seems to perform better on our long-form benchmarks, and on the loss functions
  • Necessary components to support infilling - contextual changes to fragments
  • Necessary components to extend the model across languages on the same platform

It is expected that your cloned or default Voices will result in minor changes. Enjoy!

2023-01-11

Adjust Voice Settings

To allow you more control on your voices we are adding Voice Settings as part of Speech Synthesis, where you can control how similar and varied the voice is!

We are adding 2 settings that will help you control your voices - this has biggest effect on the voices you clone. One is Stability - which allows you decide on variability of the voice - whether you want it to be more stable and similar between regenerations, or more varied, or expressive. The more varied it is, it might result in slight artifacts and with higher stability, the speech will be cleaner. On the other hand you can also adjust the similarity - the more similar it is, the more it will depend on the voice samples you have uploaded. Similarly, if the samples aren't clean it might result in speech artifacts. If prefer for the voice to be more clear, but similar to generic voices then move this slider to the left!
