AI Summary

This release dramatically expands the toolkit's capabilities by supporting over 7000 languages, significantly improving audio quality, and introducing watermarking features to prevent misuse. It marks a significant milestone as the first model of its kind to achieve such comprehensive multilingual coverage.

Key Highlights

Support for 7000+ languages based on ISO-639-3 standard
Enhanced overall TTS quality
Watermarking added to prevent misuse
Extrapolation from 462 languages to full coverage
Quality of life simplifications and UI updates

New Features

Multilingual TTS support for 7000+ languages
Improved TTS quality
Content watermarking feature
Simplified user experience and codebase

Full Release Notes

This release extends the toolkits' functionality and provides new checkpoints.

- We improved the overall TTS quality, with further enhancements already on their way
- Watermarking is added to prevent misuse
- We extend the support for almost all languages in the ISO-639-3 standard (that's over 7000 languages!)
- With a few clever designs, we were able to extrapolate from a pretrained checkpoint using 462 languages to a checkpoint that can speak all languages for which we now support a text frontend!
- Lots of simplifications and quality of life changes.

This is the outcome of a collaboration with colleagues from the University of Groningen and the Fraunhofer IIS in Erlangen. Together with our group from the University of Stuttgart, we have built this model, which is the first of its kind. 

We will present this at the Interspeech 2024, the full list of authors is Florian Lux, Sarina Meyer, Lyonel Behringer, Frank Zalkow, Phat Do, Matt Coler, Emanuël Habets and Thang Vu.
