SyncVoice is a new automatic video dubbing framework that adds a lightweight Text‑Visual Fusion Module to a pretrained TTS system, aligning visual features with linguistic representations to produce temporally synchronized speech. The approach avoids complex architectural changes and achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on the LRS3 dataset in zero‑shot dubbing. When further trained on a large bilingual audio‑visual corpus, SyncVoice improves vocal fidelity while maintaining synchronization, enabling a single model to dub both Chinese and English videos.

The paper introduces a post‑training approach that enables a single inference process to transition from text reasoning to image synthesis, eliminating the need for explicit modality switching. Using the 14B BAGEL model, the authors demonstrate that targeted post‑training data and reward‑weighted training improve multimodal image generation across four independent T2I benchmarks. The study highlights the benefits of joint text‑image generation and strategic data selection for enhancing T2I performance.
