OmniVoice's cross-language voice cloning, specifically the issue of retaining the 'reference audio's accent' (e.g., Japanese accent) when synthesizing text in a different language (e.g., Chinese).

Technical Positioning
High-quality voice cloning TTS for 600+ languages, implying flexible and controllable voice synthesis. The goal is to offer granular control over accent retention during cross-language cloning.
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
This issue exposes a significant limitation in OmniVoice's 'cross-language cloning': the inherent tendency to 'retain the reference audio's accent' when synthesizing text in another language. The user's desire for 'Chinese dubbing' without a Japanese accent highlights a critical pain point for professional content creators. The developer confirms that 'in-context learning' models typically exhibit this behavior and currently lack 'granular control' to separate timbre from accent. This indicates a substantial market gap for B2B SaaS solutions that can perform accent-agnostic voice cloning across languages. Without this capability, OmniVoice's utility for high-quality, localized dubbing is severely restricted, impacting its appeal in global media production and localization markets.

Raw Developer Origin & Technical Request

Source Icon GitHub Issue Apr 4, 2026
Repo: k2-fsa/OmniVoice
输入参考音频如果是日语,合成文本是中文的话,输出的中文会带日文口音

如题,情绪和声线确实也都克隆到了,但是读的中文会不准,带日文口音。这是为啥,识别为方言了么,有没有能够去掉识别为方言的方法

跨语言克隆的时候带reference audio的口音在OmniVoice这类用in-context learning方式训练的模型中是比较正常的。目前没有比较好的解决方案。

> 跨语言克隆的时候带reference audio的口音在OmniVoice这类用in-context learning方式训练的模型中是比较正常的。目前没有比较好的解决方案。 好吧,其实我是想尝试做一些英语日语的中文配音。那这个模型是不是就没法做出比较好的中配来了

单纯从模型角度上讲,是会克隆出口音的,如果你的场景需要只保留音色不保留口音,这个模型目前是没有这种粒度的控制的。
cacard • Apr 5, 2026
model面向的实际应用,不是纯粹的理论;而实际应用是需要带口音还是不需要呢?——只有实际应用的人有这个判断力,so,你需要多了解了解。

将来会不会更新有没有带口音和不带口音的选项?

Adjacent Repository Pain Points

Extracted Positioning
OmniVoice's voice consistency across multiple TTS generations, particularly when chunking large texts. The issue is voice instability (timbre, speed variations) between chunks.
High-quality voice cloning TTS for 600+ languages, implying consistent and professional output. The goal is to enable stable, continuous voice generation for long-form content like audiobooks.

Generate a custom voice you like and then feed that back in using reference audio prompt method.
gecko984 • Apr 5, 2026
@dignome thanks, but it seems like an overkill and will cause a huge time and compute overhead
dignome • Apr 5, 2026
I find if you include a accent description as well it's more stable. As far as more overhead with cuda I can't even tell if it's slower just works very fast.
Extracted Positioning
OmniVoice's VRAM consumption, specifically 'CUDA OOM' errors on GPUs with ≤8 GB VRAM during omnivoice-demo execution. The issue is excessive memory usage by the web UI.
High-quality voice cloning TTS, implying accessibility on common hardware configurations. The goal is to optimize memory footprint for broader compatibility and efficient inference.

Where exactly do you have to make that change in order for it to launch like that automatically?
utof • Apr 5, 2026
@gitchat1 just when you run omnivoice-demo inside the terminal, do this (bash) `PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=expandable_segments:True uv run omnivoice-demo`
utof • Apr 5, 2026
Interestingly, it works fine when i run omnivoice-infer. the problem is somewhere in the web ui
Extracted Positioning
OmniVoice's Real-Time Factor (RTF) performance on consumer-grade GPUs (e.g., 5090/4090). The user is inquiring about typical RTF statistics.
High-quality voice cloning TTS, implying efficient performance on accessible hardware. The goal is to understand and optimize real-time synthesis capabilities for a broad user base.

生成14秒音频平均1.12秒,RTF = 0.08,不错了。(on 24G VRAM 5090 laptop)
rennyka-107 • Apr 3, 2026
@cacard what's your config? I only got RTF = 0.3 on 3090 and even 5090. (with same num_step=16)

there should be a dropdown menu to select saved cloned voice. please add if possible.
MNeMoNiCuZ • Apr 6, 2026
Saving a used sample into a /samples folder, with a config, and a dropdown would be a good idea for the demo project. If you are running this yourself outside of the UI, you would set up these conf...

As far as I understand, the nature of the model is such that there exists no well defined internal artifact representing a voice. So all you can really do is use the same reference audio file over ...
