We propose GLASS, a framework for composable acoustic style control in zero-shot autoregressive text-to-speech (TTS) that learns controls from post-generation rewards rather than style labels. In zero-shot TTS, a speaker prompt often entangles speaker identity with prosodic attributes such as speaking rate and pitch, making it difficult to change style without changing the prompt itself.
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.

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: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.
