F5-TTS is a fast, non-autoregressive TTS system using flow matching with Diffusion Transformer, offering natural, expressive speech synthesis with zero-shot ability and efficient inference.
F5-TTS is a fully non-autoregressive text-to-speech (TTS) model that leverages flow matching with a Diffusion Transformer (DiT) for high-quality, natural-sounding speech synthesis. Designed for efficiency and scalability, it eliminates the need for complex components like duration models or phoneme alignment, making it a streamlined solution for speech generation.
How F5-TTS Works
Unlike traditional TTS systems, F5-TTS simplifies the process by padding text input with filler tokens to match speech length, then applying denoising for synthesis—proven feasible by E2 TTS but improved here for better performance. The model refines text representation using ConvNeXt, ensuring smoother alignment with speech. An innovative Sway Sampling strategy further enhances inference speed and stability, making it adaptable to existing flow-matching models without retraining.
Key Advantages of F5-TTS
- Ultra-Fast Inference: Achieves a real-time factor (RTF) of 0.15, outperforming state-of-the-art diffusion-based TTS models.
- Zero-Shot & Multilingual Support: Trained on a 100K-hour multilingual dataset, F5-TTS generates fluent, expressive speech in multiple languages with seamless code-switching.
- Effortless Speed Control: Users can adjust speech speed without compromising quality, ideal for dynamic content creation.
