arXiv:2608. 02673v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speech editing for content creation requires precise control over both what an edit should do and where it should apply.
arXiv:2608. 13613v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent breakthroughs in generative models have made text-to-voice generation (TTV) possible, enabling the synthesis of speech directly from textual voice descriptions.
arXiv:2608. 06424v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speech recordings often contain missing, corrupted, or incorrect regions that must be reconstructed or modified without re-synthesizing the entire utterance.
FireRedAudio is a 9‑billion‑parameter audio language model that separates continuous input representations for audio understanding and speech generation, enabling a single autoregressive LLM to perform tasks such as ASR, zero‑shot TTS, Instruct TTS, and semantic/acoustic speech editing. The model uses a dedicated Audio Encoder for recognition and a RedAE‑based pathway for generation, with the LLM directly generating text or conditioning a flow‑matching DiT to produce acoustic latents. Evaluations show competitive or leading performance in multilingual ASR, content‑accurate zero‑shot TTS, strong instruction following, and significant improvements in speech editing over prior work.

The paper introduces Alignment-Free Text‑Audiobox (Text‑AB), a unified diffusion‑based framework that performs high‑quality voice dubbing and full‑duplex dialogue synthesis without requiring forced alignment. Text‑AB uses a latent diffusion model with DAC‑VAE features, achieving over 10× compression compared to prior EnCodec representations, and learns text‑speech alignment via cross‑attention. The authors pretrain a 3B‑parameter model on 480k hours of monolingual speech and fine‑tune it for cross‑lingual dubbing, full‑duplex dialogue, and emotional dialogue, reporting significant improvements in prosody, voice similarity, naturalness, and emotional expressivity over existing internal systems.

EmoTra‑TTS introduces a method for smooth intra‑utterance emotion transitions in speech synthesis. It uses a multi‑pass flow blending pipeline, dual‑stage VAD conditioning, and direction‑magnitude decoupled injection to generate frame‑aligned emotional prosody. The system adds only 0.43% more parameters, incurs no latency, and outperforms four state‑of‑the‑art baselines and two commercial systems in emotion transition quality and overall preference tests.
