OmniVoice's Russian language TTS capabilities, specifically regarding stress control. The issue is the inability to reliably control stress for certain Cyrillic characters.

Technical Positioning
High-quality voice cloning TTS for 600+ languages, implying robust linguistic control. The goal is to achieve precise phonetic control, particularly for languages with complex stress rules like Russian.
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
This issue exposes a critical linguistic limitation within OmniVoice's 'Russian language' support. The inability to 'control stress' for specific 'Cyrillic' characters, despite attempts with standard phonetic notation, indicates a gap in the model's granular linguistic control. For high-quality TTS, accurate stress placement is paramount for natural-sounding speech, especially in inflected languages. This pain point directly impacts the perceived quality and usability for Russian-speaking markets, where incorrect stress can alter meaning or sound unnatural. B2B SaaS providers targeting global markets with advanced TTS must ensure deep linguistic fidelity, moving beyond basic pronunciation to nuanced phonetic control to meet professional standards.

Raw Developer Origin & Technical Request

Source Icon GitHub Issue Apr 6, 2026
Repo: k2-fsa/OmniVoice
Russian language: stress control

I tested this thing in Russian. It’s amazing, but I’m curious—are there plans to add stress control for the Russian language? Based on my testing so far, it seems that for some letters—presumably those that have special accented characters (ý, á, ó, etc.)—everything works well. However, for letters specific to Cyrillic (я́, ы́ (not controlled at all), ю́), it’s impossible to control stress using any method I know (such as writing the letter with an accent mark, capitalizing the stressed vowel, or placing “’” or “+” before the stressed vowel). Are there any plans to provide direct control over stress in Russian?

Accidentally closed the issue, sorry

Когда моделька училась в датасете скорее всего не было такого набора. Учитывая её размер, энтузиасты за вменяемый ценник могут дообучить её и получить, что-то типа "F5-TTS_RUSSIAN" от Misha24-10, тем более у него и датасет есть.

There seem to be many duplicate issues regarding stress control in Russian. I will close most of them and keep only the most recent one: https://github.com/k2-fsa/OmniVoice/issues/129

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)

@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 ...
