VoXtream2: Full-stream TTS with dynamic speaking rate control

Full-stream text-to-speech (TTS) for interactive systems must start speaking with minimal delay while remaining controllable as text arrives incrementally. We present VoXtream2, a zero-shot full-stream TTS model with dynamic speaking-rate control that can be updated mid-utterance on the fly. VoXtream2 combines a distribution matching mechanism over duration states with classifier-free guidance across conditioning signals to improve controllability and synthesis quality. Prompt-text masking enables textless audio prompting, removing the need for prompt transcription. Across standard zero-shot benchmarks and a dedicated speaking-rate test set, VoXtream2 achieves competitive objective and su...
