VoiceChat-TTS: A Low-Latency Continuous Speech Synthesis Model for Interactive Agents

Excerpt

arXiv:2608.13831v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spoken dialogue is a natural form of human--computer interaction, yet most speech language models remain limited to turn-based operation and lack real-time adaptability, such as user barge-in. Recent duplex speech-to-speech and speech-to-text models reduce latency by replacing multi-stage pipelines, but often compromise speech quality because accurate ASR, interruption handling, and high-fidelity synthesis must be optimized jointly. We propose Vo
