We present the results of the VoiceMOS Challenge 2026, the fifth edition of a scientific challenge on automatic prediction of subjective speech assessments. After expanding the scope to music and general audio in 2025, we refocused the evaluation target on speech and organized three tracks: prediction of absolute and c...

Speech watermarking offers proactive traceability for synthetic speech, yet most existing models operate only after text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis by adding a watermark perturbation to the generated waveform. This post-hoc design leaves watermarking as an external step that can be omitted or bypassed and restricts the...
Audio watermarking is increasingly important for tracing generated speech. Several audio watermarking methods have been proposed to embed the watermark in various domains, such as waveform, timbre feature, or latent representations, for making the embedded watermark robust against traditional digital signal processing...
Speech assessment tools for speakers with speech pathology must be both accurate and interpretable if they are to be adopted in clinical practice. Existing reference-audio measures such as the Neural Acoustic Distance (NAD) reach high speaker-level correlations with listener intelligibility scores but operate on self-s...

This study proposes transcription quality labels (TQL), automatically derived from connectionist temporal classification scores, and confirms that synthesis quality varies systematically with TQL values at inference, demonstrating learned quality-conditioned behavior.
Pseudo-label distillation not only transfers the performance of SSL models to a compact model but also further improves performance by leveraging available coarse labels and data augmentation.
