DRAMA-Eval: A Benchmark for Context-Aware, Multi-Turn, Multi-Speaker Speech Generation

Recent advances in speech generation are shifting toward context-aware, multi-turn, and multi-speaker synthesis. While these capabilities are in high demand for applications such as audiobook and audio drama production, evaluation has not kept pace with these advances. Beyond traditional zero-shot Text-to-Speech (TTS),...

SpeechAnnotator: A Context-Aware Multi-Agent Framework and Benchmark for Multidimensional Speech Annotation

Recent controllable speech generation requires training data with fine-grained annotations of speaker traits, prosody, emotion, paralinguistic cues, acoustic scenes, and context. Existing workflows often rely on manual correction, paid hosted multimodal services, or fixed processing chains, which limits large-scale dat...

StreamTN: A Low-Latency Streaming Chinese Text Normalization Model for Streaming TTS in Dialogue Systems

StreamTN is proposed, a lightweight LLM-based Chinese streaming TN model that employs a dual-track streaming framework in which input tokens and output tokens are processed on two parallel tracks, enabling low-latency real-time inference without complex prompting.

WenetSpeech-Min: A Large-Scale Minnan Speech Corpus with Dual Transcriptions for Dialectal Speech Processing

Progress in dialectal speech technology is hindered by the scarcity of large-scale, real-world corpora. For Minnan speech, existing resources remain limited, and few provide paired Minnan and Mandarin transcripts at scale. To address these gaps, we introduce WenetSpeech-Min, an open-source corpus comprising around 10,0...

Motion-Omni: End-to-End Joint Speech and Full-Body Motion for Spoken Dialogue

Motion-Omni is presented, an end-to-end framework in which a spoken dialogue model natively outputs explicit facial expression together with hand, upper-body and lower-body motion, generated directly from the hidden states that produce the speech.

SphereVAE: Hyperspherical Latent Autoencoders for Robust Autoregressive Speech Representation Modeling

SphereVAE is proposed, which constrains the VAE latent space to the unit hypersphere and regularizes the latent distribution toward a uniform prior, so that information is encoded mainly by directional variation, providing a bounded geometric target for autoregressive prediction and reducing the risk of norm drift.

X-Pred MeanFlow for Streaming Token-to-Mel Speech Decoding

X-Pred MeanFlow is proposed, a few-step streaming token-to-mel decoder that reparameterizes MeanFlow with mel-space prediction and introduces layer-selective block-wise attention to enable continuous chunk-wise generation with bounded context.

Bridging Data, Reasoning, and Alignment: A Unified Framework for Context-Aware Instruction-Following TTS

A Context-Aware Direct Preference Optimization (CA-DPO) method that significantly outperforms the baseline across all objective and subjective metrics, and establishes an evaluation method featuring a 500-sample test set and an LLM-as-Judge framework to independently assess reasoning and execution fidelity.

DiTAR+: Dual Optimization for Robust Autoregressive Diffusion Speech Synthesis

The proposed DiTAR+, a dual-optimization framework for continuous-latent Autoregressive Diffusion Transformer models, introduces Dilated Context Sampling and Hierarchical Acoustic Masking to prevent shallow layers from attending to acoustic pre-context, explicitly decoupling semantic alignment from acoustic detail reco...
