SaaS Metrics
Gemini Executive Synthesis
Slow inference speed of dots.tts model (mf and soar).
Technical Positioning
Achieve competitive real-time factor (RTF) for TTS inference speed.
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
This issue highlights a significant performance bottleneck for dots.tts, specifically its slow inference speed compared to competitors like Xiaomi's OmniVoice TTS and even older Index-TTS versions. Despite GPU mode and `mf` model's 2-4 steps, the user experiences unacceptable latency for short sentences. In the competitive TTS market, real-time factor (RTF) is a critical differentiator for user experience and application viability. Slow inference directly impacts scalability and user satisfaction, particularly for interactive or high-volume use cases. This performance deficit could severely limit dots.tts's market adoption, as users will gravitate towards faster, more responsive solutions.

GitHub Issue

Repo: rednote-hilab/dots.tts
今天测试了该模型, 推理速度较同类 TTS 慢
实测, 显存占用约 8 GB 左右.
但是, 合成一个短句需要的时间很久 ( GPU 模式 ),
mf 和 soar 两个型号都试了. 虽然 mf 可以 2~4 步, 但实际也没有感觉多快.
单短句示例:
```
做人如果没有梦想，那跟闲鱼有什么分别呢，你要记住啦，梦想是要有的，万一实现了呢?
```
单从推理速度上来讲, 小米的 OmniVoice TTS , 几乎能达到鼠标 "即点即出" , RTF 极低的水平.
实际对比下来, dots.tts 当前项目比去年的 Index-TTS 1.5 或 2.0 都要慢得多~
希望能优化一下 dots.tts 的推理速度,

我测试了1000字中文VRAM占用为8.8G（实际上并不建议直接合成这么长的文本，效果基本不可用）。以下是一些tips供参考： - 对于长文本，最好在合适位置做一下切分，直接合成超长文本效果会差； - 参考音频10s左右即...
