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.

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.
The paper introduces Alignment-Free Text‑Audiobox (Text‑AB), a unified diffusion‑based framework that performs high‑quality voice dubbing and full‑duplex dialogue synthesis without requiring forced alignment. Text‑AB uses a latent diffusion model with DAC‑VAE features, achieving over 10× compression compared to prior EnCodec representations, and learns text‑speech alignment via cross‑attention. The authors pretrain a 3B‑parameter model on 480k hours of monolingual speech and fine‑tune it for cross‑lingual dubbing, full‑duplex dialogue, and emotional dialogue, reporting significant improvements in prosody, voice similarity, naturalness, and emotional expressivity over existing internal systems.
