Inflect v2: Ultra-tiny TTS models released for local use

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has released Inflect v2, a pair of ultra-tiny text-to-speech (TTS) models designed for local execution. Inflect-Nano-v2, with 3.96 million parameters, and Inflect-Micro-v2, with 9.36 million parameters, are complete TTS systems that do not require external vocoders or separate models. These models are significantly smaller than other TTS systems, with Nano being over 1,000 times smaller than Fish Audio S2 Pro. Despite their small size, they achieve competitive performance in terms of speech quality and inference speed, ranking second and third in a community comparison of compact TTS systems. AI

IMPACT Offers highly efficient, locally runnable TTS for applications prioritizing small footprints.
