VALL-E
A zero-shot text-to-speech model released by Microsoft in 2023, capable of cloning a target speaker's voice using only three seconds of reference audio.
Core Facts
Timeline (last 90 days)
Microsoft's VALL-E redefined speech synthesis as a language modeling problem, encoding speech as discrete acoustic tokens and predicting the next acoustic token in the same way a large language model predicts the next word.
Microsoft's VALL-E redefined the TTS problem as a language modeling problem, using discrete audio encodings for autoregressive prediction.
Transformer-based TTS models such as VALL-E and Bark can clone highly similar synthetic audio from just a few seconds of real human voice samples.
Voice cloning technologies such as Microsoft's VALL-E and open-source projects Bark and RVC can generate highly realistic voice imitations from just a few seconds of voice samples.
Codec-based approaches (such as VALL-E and SoundStorm) encode speech into discrete tokens and then generate output using a language model approach, achieving better zero-shot voice cloning results.
VALL-E, released by Microsoft in 2023, models speech generation as a language model problem, requiring only 3 seconds of reference audio to achieve zero-shot cloning, and uses the EnCodec neural audio codec.
