arXiv:2603. 04219v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We investigate the use of zero-shot text-to-speech (ZS-TTS) as a data augmentation source for low-resource personalized speech synthesis.
arXiv:2608. 15690v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-to-audio-video (T2AV) generation models produce a video and its soundtrack from a textual description, but offer no control over whose voice speaks in the output.
arXiv:2607. 03985v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Advanced neural technologies in speech synthesis and voice conversion (VC) have introduced severe risks to personal privacy, necessitating robust Speaker Anonymization Systems (SAS).
arXiv:2606. 26534v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recently, zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) has enabled high-fidelity and expressive speech synthesis, but it often fails to imitate unseen speaking styles from uncommon scenarios (e.
X-VC is a zero‑shot streaming voice conversion system that performs one‑step conversion directly in the latent space of a pretrained neural codec. It employs a dual‑conditioning acoustic converter that jointly models source codec latents and target acoustic conditions, while using adaptive normalization to inject utterance‑level speaker information. The model is trained with generated paired data and a role‑assignment strategy, and uses a chunkwise inference scheme with overlap smoothing to achieve low‑latency streaming inference, achieving superior WER, speaker similarity, and real‑time factor on the Seed‑TTS‑Eval benchmark.
The paper introduces a black-box membership inference attack framework tailored for fine-tuned text-to-speech models, addressing challenges in query generation and representation engineering. It evaluates five query types, finding recitation queries most effective, and uses multi-level speech embeddings with temporal alignment for fine-grained comparison. Experiments on CosyVoice2, F5-TTS, and XTTS-v2 trained on VCTK and British Dialect datasets show high privacy leakage, with speaker-level AUC above 0.80 and record-level AUC between 0.80 and 0.90.
arXiv:2607. 14753v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in text-to-speech and voice cloning make high-quality spoofing inexpensive and scalable, threatening voice authentication systems, especially automatic speaker verification (ASV).
Existing multi-speaker dialogue systems bind speakers to utterances through structured supervision: per-turn tags, multi-stream transcriptions, or learnable speaker embeddings. These systems operate within speech-only pipelines that produce clean vocal sequences without the ambient texture of real conversations.
Recent advances in zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) have substantially improved speech quality and voice cloning fidelity. However, many zero-shot TTS systems still depend on audio prompt transcripts at inference time.

The paper introduces a two‑stage speech anonymization framework that preserves both linguistic content and acoustic identity. It replaces personally identifiable information using a generative editing model and applies a flow‑matching anonymization technique (F3‑VA) to create diverse, distinct anonymized speakers. The authors evaluate privacy with speaker verification metrics and utility by training ASR, TTS, and SER models from scratch, showing stronger privacy protection with minimal utility loss compared to existing baselines.
