...It uses a two-stage architecture where a generative LLM first converts text into intermediate speech token sequences and then a Flow-based neural model converts those tokens into natural audio waveforms, enabling rich prosody and voice character even for unseen speakers. The system introduces a multi-reward reinforcement learning framework that jointly optimizes for voice similarity, emotional expressiveness, pronunciation, and intelligibility, yielding output that can rival commercial options in naturalness and expressiveness. GLM-TTS also supports phoneme-level control and hybrid text + phoneme input, giving developers precise control over pronunciation critical for multilingual or polyphone­-rich languages.

Miso TTS is an advanced 8-billion-parameter text-to-speech model developed by Miso Labs for generating highly expressive and natural-sounding conversational speech. Built on an RVQ Transformer architecture inspired by Sesame CSM, it combines a powerful Llama-based backbone with an autoregressive audio decoder to produce high-quality audio from text. The model supports both standard speech synthesis and voice-conditioned generation using optional audio prompts for voice cloning. Miso TTS...

Step-Audio is a unified, open-source framework aimed at building intelligent speech systems that combine both comprehension and generation: it integrates large language models (LLMs) with speech input/output to handle not only semantic understanding but also rich vocal characteristics like tone, style, dialect, emotion, and prosody. The design moves beyond traditional separate-component pipelines (ASR → text model → TTS), instead offering a multimodal model that ingests speech or audio and produces speech accordingly, enabling natural dialogue, voice cloning, and expressive speech synthesis. ...

StyleTTS2 is a state-of-the-art text-to-speech system that aims for human-level naturalness by combining style diffusion, adversarial training, and large speech language models. It extends the original StyleTTS idea by introducing a style diffusion model that can sample rich, realistic speaking styles conditioned on reference speech, allowing highly expressive and diverse prosody. The architecture uses a two-stage training process and leverages an auxiliary speech language model to guide generation toward more natural and coherent utterances. StyleTTS2 supports both single-speaker and multi-speaker configurations, with the ability to sample or transfer styles from reference audio, making it powerful for expressive TTS and character voices. ...
