Streaming T5-based Text-to-Speech Synthesis with Limited Lookahead
Researchers introduce S5-TTS, a streaming variant of T5-based text-to-speech that generates speech word-by-word with minimal latency by processing limited lookahead context. The system uses novel masking mechanisms and distillation techniques to maintain speech quality and speaker similarity while enabling real-time conversational AI applications.
