FreyaTTS: Compact Turkish TTS model released with Apache 2.0 license · 2 sources tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed Freya-TTS, a compact, tokenizer-free text-to-speech model optimized for Turkish conversational synthesis. This 183.2M-parameter model utilizes a Diffusion Transformer architecture operating in a latent space, enabling efficient text-to-latent mapping and high-quality audio reconstruction. Freya-TTS achieves strong performance on the Freya-TR-Eval benchmark with low word and character error rates, outperforming larger systems while maintaining a fast real-time factor suitable for resource-constrained environments. The model, its code, and evaluation benchmark are released under the Apache-2.0 license. AI

IMPACT This release provides a highly efficient and compact Turkish text-to-speech model, potentially accelerating edge deployments and research in low-resource language synthesis.

RANK_REASON The cluster contains a technical report detailing a new open-source model release with associated code and benchmarks.
