OmniVoice: Towards Omnilingual Zero-Shot Text-to-Speech with Diffusion Language Models
We present OmniVoice, a massively multilingual zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) model that scales to over 600 languages. At its core is a novel diffusion language model-style discrete non-autoregressive (NAR) architecture. Unlike conventional discrete NAR models that suffer from performance bottlenecks in complex two-stage (text-to-semantic-to-acoustic) pipelines, OmniVoice directly maps text to multi-codebook acoustic tokens. This simplified approach is facilitated by two key technical innovations: (1) a full-codebook random masking strategy for efficient training, and (2) initialization from a pre-trained LLM to ensure superior intelligibility. By leveraging a 581k-hour multilingual datas...
