OmniVoice's ability to control primary stress in words, specifically for Russian. The issue is inconsistent stress indication using capitalization.

Technical Positioning
High-quality voice cloning TTS for 600+ languages, implying precise phonetic control. The goal is to provide reliable mechanisms for users to dictate word stress for natural pronunciation.
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
This issue, similar to 4208860541, underscores a persistent challenge in OmniVoice's 'Russian' language support: the inconsistent ability to 'indicate primary stress in words.' The observation that 'capitalizing the stressed vowel works but only sometimes' points to an unreliable control mechanism. For professional TTS applications, precise stress control is non-negotiable for linguistic accuracy and natural speech synthesis. This recurring pain point suggests a fundamental gap in the model's phonetic control layer for complex languages. B2B SaaS providers must prioritize robust, explicit stress marking capabilities to ensure high-fidelity output and meet the demands of diverse linguistic markets.

Indicate stress in words

Hi, I've just tried OmniVoice and it's really impressive, thank so much for sharing it!
I have a question though, is there a way to directly indicate primary stress in words (I am specifically interested in Russian).
For example "a world rEcord" vs "to recOrd a voice message".
I noticed, that capitalizing the stressed vowel works but only sometimes

Ударение работает. Пример: го́ры. Именно так, а не через заглавную.

> Ударение работает. Пример: го́ры. Именно так, а не через заглавную. Спасибо огромное, забыл про этот символ! Работает, но не всегда, видимо моделька просто видела его в обучающих данных.

@persey01 suggested using the "combining acute accent" U+0301 https://www.charactercodes.net/0301 It does work to some degree, but the generation starts sounding really unnatural and odd, I don't think I can use this approach after all
persey01 • Apr 6, 2026
Как я понял многое зависит от референса, помимо всего, голос может быть один, вот в зависимости от отрывка (5-8 секунд) вывод меняется, я пробовал разные отрывки и на одном из пяти, вывод вполне приемлемый. Т.ч., пробуйте. У меня ударение ставит в 2 случаях из 3, если поставить спец символ, не знаю, меня результат устраивает, искажений нет.

Adjacent Repository Pain Points

Other highly discussed features and pain points extracted from k2-fsa/OmniVoice.

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 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).
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.

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。

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。
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

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.

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 ...
