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.

Real-time long-form avatar audio--video generation requires causal, continuous synthesis while maintaining audiovisual synchronization and visual consistency. Adapting a pretrained bidirectional model to this setting presents two key dilemmas.
Flow-matching approaches to voice conversion (VC) have gained attention owing to their high speech quality and strong speaker similarity. Among them, one-step models such as MeanVoiceFlow are particul...
