F5-TTS

F5-TTS is transforming digital content access with powerful audio solutions that make everyday tasks, media, and interactive experiences more accessible and efficient. Whether in media, customer service, or learning, F5-TTS proves that voice-driven tools are both practical and highly effective.

Overview

F5-TTS is an open source text-to-speech model which generates natural and expressive speech, by using sample audio of a few seconds, containing your own or somebody else's voice.

This advanced model with 335 million parameters handles English and Chinese voice synthesis, with more languages on the way. It’s trained on an enormous dataset of 95,000 hours and runs on 8 A100 GPUs, a process that took just over a week.

The performance is impressive, and big thanks to the developers for releasing it as free, open-source software. I’ve tested it with my own voice and some public-domain movie actors. The results are remarkable. F5-TTS and its earlier version, F2-TTS, both have their unique qualities: F2 has a more consistent tone, giving it a formal vibe, but F5 adds that lifelike spark.
