- 适合实时语音交互场景,代码模型已开源。
零样本语音转换(VC)旨在将源语音转换为未见过的目标说话人音色,同时保留其语言内容。尽管近期系统提升了转换质量,但在交互场景中同时实现高保真语音迁移与低延迟流式推理仍具挑战。本文提出X-VC,一种在预训练神经编码器隐空间中执行单步转换的零样本流式VC系统。X-VC采用双条件声学转换器,联合建模源编码器隐状态与目标参考语音的帧级声学条件,并通过自适应归一化注入话语级目标说话人信息。为减少训练与推理间的不匹配,模型使用生成配对数据及标准、重构与反向模式相结合的角色分配策略进行训练。流式推理中,采用与编码器分段训练范式一致的分块推理与重叠平滑方案。在Seed-TTS-Eval上的实验表明,X-VC在英、中文流式场景下均达到最低的语音识别错误率,跨语言与同语言设置下均有强语音相似度,且离线实时因子显著低于基线。结果表明,编码器空间单步转换是构建高质量低延迟零样本VC系统的可行路径。音频样例、代码与检查点已公开于https://github.com/Jerrister/X-VC。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Zero-shot voice conversion (VC) aims to convert a source utterance into the voice of an unseen target speaker while preserving its linguistic content. Although recent systems have improved conversion quality, building zero-shot VC systems for interactive scenarios remains challenging because high-fidelity speaker transfer and low-latency streaming inference are difficult to achieve simultaneously. In this work, we present X-VC, a zero-shot streaming VC system that performs one-step conversion in the latent space of a pretrained neural codec. X-VC uses a dual-conditioning acoustic converter that jointly models source codec latents and frame-level acoustic conditions derived from target reference speech, while injecting utterance-level target speaker information through adaptive normalization. To reduce the mismatch between training and inference, we train the model with generated paired data and a role-assignment strategy that combines standard, reconstruction, and reversed modes. For streaming inference, we further adopt a chunkwise inference scheme with overlap smoothing that is aligned with the segment-based training paradigm of the codec. Experiments on Seed-TTS-Eval show that X-VC achieves the best streaming WER in both English and Chinese, strong speaker similarity in same-language and cross-lingual settings, and substantially lower offline real-time factor than the compared baselines. These results suggest that codec-space one-step conversion is a practical approach for building high-quality low-latency zero-shot VC systems. Our audio samples, code and checkpoints are released at https://github.com/Jerrister/X-VC.
