IndexTTS 2.5 advances zero-shot TTS with multilingual support and faster inference

Researchers have introduced IndexTTS 2.5, an advanced zero-shot text-to-speech model that significantly improves upon its predecessor. Key enhancements include a reduced semantic codec frame rate for lower costs, an upgraded Zipformer-based architecture for faster inference, and expanded multilingual support for Chinese, English, Japanese, Spanish, and Arabic. The model also incorporates reinforcement learning to boost pronunciation accuracy and naturalness, enabling robust emotion transfer across languages even without specific emotional training data. AI
