Researchers have developed PilotTTS, a lightweight text-to-speech system that achieves competitive performance using a minimalist architecture and efficient data engineering. Trained on 200,000 hours of data with open-source tools, PilotTTS offers features like zero-shot voice cloning, emotion synthesis, and dialect synthesis. It has demonstrated superior performance on the Seed-TTS Eval benchmark, achieving low word and character error rates and high speaker similarity, outperforming systems trained on much larger datasets.
