arXiv:2606. 19823v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic speech recognition remains unreliable for dysarthric speech due to data scarcity and high inter-speaker variability.
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.
arXiv:2606. 03957v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conversational ASR for lower-resource languages and niche domains is limited by the scarcity of domain-matched multi-speaker training data.
Conversational ASR for lower-resource languages and niche domains is limited by the scarcity of domain-matched multi-speaker training data. We propose an augmentation pipeline that generates scenario-level dialogues with participant metadata, maps speaker attributes to TTS voice profiles, and assembles synthesized utterances into speaker-aware simulated conversations.
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.
We present ZONOS2 8B, our latest TTS model, which achieves state-of-the-art naturalness, prosody, and voice cloning fidelity. We improve upon Zonos-v0.

arXiv:2607. 22304v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Synthetic data augmentation in speech is common practice for linguistic tasks like ASR, but has seen far less work for paralinguistic ones, especially clinical tasks where labelled data is expensive and some patient groups are underrepresented.
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:2606. 27543v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The variations in vocal effort range (e.
arXiv:2607. 11706v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern LLM-driven text-to-speech (TTS) and voice conversion (VC) systems produce synthetic speech that differs from the generators represented in many legacy spoofing benchmarks.
arXiv:2603. 04710v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech enhancement have strengthened the common belief that cleaner audio should lead to more accurate transcription.
arXiv:2508. 05149v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated potential in handling spoken inputs for high-resource languages, reaching state-of-the-art performance in various tasks.
