F5-TTS: A Fully Non-Autoregressive Text-to-Speech System based on Flow Matching with Diffusion Transformer (DiT)

F5-TTS: A Fully Non-Autoregressive Text-to-Speech System based on Flow Matching with Diffusion Transformer (DiT)

Challenges in Traditional Text-to-Speech (TTS) Systems

Traditional text-to-speech systems face significant challenges, such as:

  • Complex Models: Many require intricate elements like duration modeling and phoneme alignment.
  • Slow Convergence: Previous models struggled with speed and robustness.
  • Alignment Issues: Difficulties in synchronizing text with generated speech hinder efficiency.

Introducing F5-TTS: A Simplified Solution

Researchers have developed F5-TTS, a non-autoregressive TTS system that simplifies the synthesis process:

  • No Complex Elements: F5-TTS eliminates the need for duration modeling and dedicated text encoders.
  • Flow Matching: It uses a unique approach to align text and speech effectively.
  • Improved Performance: Features like ConvNeXt architecture and Sway Sampling optimize the synthesis process.

Key Features of F5-TTS

  • ConvNeXt Architecture: Enhances text representation for better alignment with speech.
  • Sway Sampling: Optimizes inference by managing flow steps for improved speech quality.

Performance Highlights

F5-TTS outperforms existing systems:

  • Word Error Rate (WER): Achieved a low WER of 2.42 on the LibriSpeech-PC dataset.
  • Real-Time Factor (RTF): Maintained a fast RTF of 0.15 during inference.
  • Naturalness and Intelligibility: The model produces smooth and expressive speech.

Benefits of F5-TTS

F5-TTS offers a streamlined and efficient approach to TTS synthesis:

  • Lightweight Architecture: Simplifies the development and deployment of TTS solutions.
  • Open-Source Framework: Promotes community-driven advancements in TTS technology.
  • Ethical Considerations: Emphasizes the need for watermarking and detection systems to prevent misuse.
