StyleStream 2.0: Fast and Controllable Streaming Voice Style Conversion

Read the original on arXiv AI →

StyleStream 2.0 is a fast, controllable streaming voice style conversion system that reduces end‑to‑end latency to about 520 ms on a consumer GPU, halving the delay of its predecessor while preserving conversion quality. It replaces mel‑spectrogram context with a compact style embedding, enabling a unified text‑conditioned flow model that supports both text‑based voice design and instruction‑based voice editing. Experiments demonstrate that StyleStream 2.0 achieves superior target style fidelity, voice design, and voice editing performance while maintaining intelligibility and attribute preservation.

X-VC: Zero-shot Streaming Voice Conversion in Codec Space

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.
