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. 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.

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.

arXiv:2606. 20518v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Flow-matching text-to-speech systems achieve remarkable zero-shot quality but remain static after deployment: pronunciation errors on out-of-vocabulary proper nouns persist unless the model is retrained.

arXiv:2606. 08843v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a voice conversion (VC) framework that utilizes K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) retrieval over WavLM representations to align non-parallel source and target speech, constructing synthetic training pairs for supervised learning.
