OmniVoice's voice consistency across multiple TTS generations, particularly when chunking large texts. The issue is voice instability (timbre, speed variations) between chunks.
Technical Positioning
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.
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
This issue exposes a critical limitation in OmniVoice's 'stable voice' generation for long-form content. The 'voice sounds a little different each time' when chunking text, leading to an inconsistent output, is a significant pain point for professional applications like 'audiobooks.' While a workaround involving 'reference audio prompt method' is suggested, the user notes 'huge time and compute overhead.' The developer's explanation of using the first chunk as reference for subsequent ones within a *single generation* highlights the current architectural constraint. This indicates a clear market demand for explicit, efficient mechanisms to preserve voice consistency across *different runs* or sessions, without incurring substantial overhead. Without this, OmniVoice's utility for continuous, high-volume content creation is severely hampered.

How to get a stable voice
Hi,
I'm trying to tts a large piece of text, by chunking it into paragraphs and generating audio for each paragraph.
When I just call `audio = model.generate(text=chunk, instruct="female, young adult")` in the loop, the voice sounds a little different each time, differing in timbre or even speed. Combining it together will create an effect of a large group of young women, taking turns reading one sentence each, which is not the effect I'm aiming at ;)
Is there a way to generate a voice one time and then apply it to each chunk?
Thank you!
Developer Debate & Comments
Generate a custom voice you like and then feed that back in using reference audio prompt method.
@dignome thanks, but it seems like an overkill and will cause a huge time and compute overhead
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.
Hi, in our current voice design implementation, if you provide a very long text, we generate the first chunk using the instruction, and generate subsequent chunks using both the instruction and the generated first chunk as reference audio. This strategy ensures consistent voice style within a single generation. You can consider applying this same logic to your task.
Thank you @zhu-han ! Still an explicit way of preserving the same voice across different runs would be greatly appreciated& Otherwise creating audiobooks with omnivoice will be next to non-viable

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。

Where exactly do you have to make that change in order for it to launch like that automatically?
@gitchat1 just when you run omnivoice-demo inside the terminal, do this (bash) `PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=expandable_segments:True uv run omnivoice-demo`
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）
@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...
