TokenMapper is a framework that enables direct translation between different speech tokenizers, allowing heterogeneous speech models to communicate without converting tokens to waveform audio. It handles mismatched token spaces, including single and multi-codebook representations, while maintaining a shared effective token rate. Experiments on GLM-4-Voice, MiMi, and DualCodec show that TokenMapper achieves word error rates close to native reconstructions, comparable human MOS scores, and significantly reduces latency compared to waveform bridging.

arXiv:2606. 09234v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent state-of-the-art (SOTA) text-to-speech (TTS) systems typically adopt a cascaded pipeline consisting of a speech tokenizer, an autoregressive large language model (LLM), and a diffusion based flow-matching (FM) model, with these components trained independently.
