RobustSpeechFlow: Learning Robust Text-to-Speech Trajectories via Augmentation-based Contrastive Flow Matching

arXiv:2605. 22083v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While flow-matching text-to-speech (TTS) achieves strong zero-shot speaker similarity and naturalness, it remains susceptible to content fidelity issues, particularly skip and repeat errors from imperfect alignment.

MeanVoiceFlow2: Joint Optimization of Mean Flow and Content Encoder for Fast One-Step Zero-Shot Voice Conversion

MeanVoiceFlow2 is a new voice conversion framework that jointly optimizes a flow-based conversion module and a computationally efficient content encoder. It is trained via conversion distillation from MeanVoiceFlow and real data reconstruction, and further enhanced with diffusion-GAN training, sample mixing, and teacher-guided conditioning augmentation. Experiments on zero-shot voice conversion show that MeanVoiceFlow2 delivers higher perceptual quality and about nine times faster inference than its predecessor while preserving speaker similarity.
