What is StreamVC?
StreamVC is a real-time low-latency voice conversion solution developed by Google. It can maintain the content and intonation of the source speech while matching the target voice's tone. This technology is ideal for real-time communication scenarios such as phone calls and video conferences and can be used for voice anonymization.
It uses the architecture and training strategies of the SoundStream neural audio codec to achieve lightweight high-quality voice synthesis. It also demonstrates effective learning of soft speech units and provides whitened fundamental frequency information to enhance pitch stability without revealing the source voice characteristics.
Who Can Use StreamVC?
StreamVC is suitable for businesses and individuals who require real-time voice conversion. This includes call center operators, video conference participants, and voice synthesis artists. It offers high-quality voice conversion with low latency, meeting real-time communication needs.
Example Scenarios:
Call center operators use StreamVC for voice conversion to provide anonymous services.
Video conference participants use StreamVC to adapt to different languages.
Voice synthesis artists use StreamVC to create synthetic voices with specific tones.
