OmniVoice's voice cloning quality based on reference audio length. The issue is severe degradation in quality with longer reference audio, despite a UI recommendation for shorter clips.
Technical Positioning
High-quality voice cloning TTS. The goal is to ensure optimal cloning results and user experience by guiding users on best practices for reference audio input.
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
This feedback exposes a critical user experience and quality control issue within OmniVoice's voice cloning. The stark difference in quality between '3–10 seconds audio' and '60 seconds' reference audio, leading to 'very bad results' and 'fails to output about 1/4th of the words,' indicates a significant sensitivity to input parameters. While a recommendation exists, its impact is clearly underestimated. This pain point highlights the need for more robust input validation and explicit warnings in B2B SaaS interfaces. Unpredictable or poor output quality due to input length directly impacts user trust and the perceived reliability of the cloning service, hindering professional adoption.

Voice Cloning Suggestion
In the demo UI, it's stated:
`Recommended: 3–10 seconds audio. `
This is quite important. I get very bad results with longer reference audio, but great with this short.
With 6 seconds, it's great, but 60 seconds it sounds like the speaker is having a stroke and it fails to output about 1/4th of the words.
I would suggest expressing this even more, or perhaps warning when using a longer audio file than supported.
Developer Debate & Comments
Thanks for the suggestion! Will add a warning log for it.
in my opinion, you should implement a feature in the UI that automatically trims the reference audio to the recommended 6 seconds. This would ensure better results without requiring the user to edit their files manually, or you can add a auto trim or manual trim button.
> in my opinion, you should implement a feature in the UI that automatically trims the reference audio to the recommended 6 seconds. This would ensure better results without requiring the user to edit their files manually, or you can add a auto trim or manual trim button. It's a good idea, but implement with care I guess. If it's auto-cropped, the included sample text must also be editable by the user. So make sure that the cropped audio can be listened to. Also, I would see both of these best as being options, since maybe future training would make 60 second or more of data even better. However, still keeping in mind that it's a demo, so some limitations can be there, as long as the result showcase the possibilities well.
I haven't noticed this issue, unless my audio is already getting trimmed without me realizing? I can give it 5 minutes of audio and it still sounds fine, no instability.
If you use letters in CAPS you will get bad audio outputs as if the speaker is drunk. Use small case or sentence case inputs to mitigate that as much as possible. Also I use audio references under 15 seconds for stable results. If you use audio over 30 seconds and inputs over 275 characters or about 48 words standard it may go bad too. Try to keep it under 45 words give or take while remaining under 275 characters total. (Including spaces)

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.
@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.
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。

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?
@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)

OmniVoice, a high-quality voice cloning TTS model. The specific feature request is the ability to save cloned voice models for reuse, avoiding re-uploading reference audio and text.
Delivering a market-leading, high-speed, multi-language TTS with realistic voices. The goal is to enhance user experience and efficiency by enabling persistence of cloned voice profiles.

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 ...
