ChatTTS is a sound generation model designed for dialogue scenarios, especially suitable for dialogue tasks for large language model assistants, as well as dialogue audio and video introduction applications. It supports Chinese and English, and demonstrates high-quality and natural speech synthesis capabilities through training using about 100,000 hours of Chinese and English data.
Demand population:
"ChatTTS targets its audiences, academic researchers, and users of any application or service that needs to convert text into speech. It is especially suitable for conversational applications that require high-quality natural speech synthesis, such as language model assistants, video introductions, education and training content, etc."
Example of usage scenarios:
Dialogue tasks for large language model assistants
Generate voice for dialogue video introduction
Phonetic synthesis of educational and training content
Product Features:
Multilingual support: including English and Chinese to overcome language barriers.
Large-scale data training: Use about 10 million hours of Chinese and English data training to generate high-quality natural speech.
Dialogue Task Compatibility: Suitable for handling dialogue tasks in large language models, providing a natural and smooth interactive experience.
Open Source Plan: Plan to open source training basic models to promote academic research and community development.
Control and Security: Committed to improving the controllability of models, adding watermarks, and integrating them into large language models.
Ease of use: Just text information can generate corresponding voice files, which is simple and easy to use.
