MOSS-TTS Family

Overview

MOSS‑TTS Family is an open‑source speech and sound generation model family from MOSI.AI and the OpenMOSS team. It is designed for high‑fidelity, high‑expressiveness, and complex real‑world scenarios, covering stable long‑form speech, multi‑speaker dialogue, voice/character design, environmental sound effects, and real‑time streaming TTS.

Introduction

When a single piece of audio needs to sound like a real person, pronounce every word accurately, switch speaking styles across content, remain stable over tens of minutes, and support dialogue, role‑play, and real‑time interaction, a single TTS model is often not enough. The MOSS‑TTS Family breaks the workflow into five production‑ready models that can be used independently or composed into a complete pipeline.

  • MOSS‑TTS: MOSS-TTS is the flagship, production-ready Text-to-Speech foundation model in the MOSS-TTS Family, built to ship, scale, and deliver real-world voice applications beyond demos. It provides high-fidelity zero-shot voice cloning as the core capability, along with ultra-long speech generation, token-level duration control, multilingual and code-switched synthesis, and fine-grained Pinyin/phoneme pronunciation control. Together, these features make it a robust base model for scalable narration, dubbing, and voice-driven products.
  • MOSS‑TTSD: MOSS-TTSD is a production-oriented long-form spoken dialogue generation model for creating highly expressive, multi-party conversational audio at scale. It supports continuous long-duration generation, flexible multi-speaker turn-taking control, and zero-shot voice cloning from short reference audio, enabling natural conversations with rich interaction dynamics. It is designed for real-world long-form content such as podcasts, audiobooks, commentary, dubbing, and entertainment dialogue.
  • MOSS‑VoiceGenerator: MOSS-VoiceGenerator is an open-source voice design system that generates speaker timbres directly from free-form text descriptions, enabling fast creation of voices for characters, personalities, and emotions—without requiring reference audio. It unifies timbre design, style control, and content synthesis in a single instruction-driven model, producing high-fidelity, emotionally expressive speech that feels naturally human. It can be used standalone for creative production, or as a voice design layer that improves integration and usability for downstream TTS systems.
  • MOSS‑SoundEffect: MOSS-SoundEffect is a high-fidelity sound effect generation model built for real-world content creation, offering strong environmental richness, broad category coverage, and reliable duration controllability. Trained on large-scale, high-quality data, it generates consistent audio from text prompts across natural ambience, urban scenes, creatures, human actions, and music-like clips. It is well suited for film and game production, interactive experiences, and data synthesis pipelines.
  • MOSS‑TTS‑Realtime: MOSS-TTS-Realtime is a context-aware, multi-turn streaming TTS foundation model designed for real-time voice agents. Unlike conventional TTS that synthesizes replies in isolation, it conditions generation on multi-turn dialogue history—including both textual and acoustic signals from prior user speech—so responses stay coherent, consistent, and natural across turns. With low-latency incremental synthesis and strong voice stability, it enables truly conversational, human-like real-time speech experiences.

MOSS-TTS

1. Overview

1.1 TTS Family Positioning

MOSS-TTS is the flagship base model in our open-source TTS Family. It is designed as a production-ready synthesis backbone that can serve as the primary high-quality engine for scalable voice applications, and as a strong research baseline for controllable TTS and discrete audio token modeling.

Design goals

  • Production readiness: robust voice cloning with stable, on-brand speaker identity at scale
  • Controllability: duration and pronunciation controls that integrate into real workflows
  • Long-form stability: consistent identity and delivery for extended narration
  • Multilingual coverage: multilingual and code-switched synthesis as first-class capabilities

1.2 Key Capabilities

MOSS-TTS delivers state-of-the-art quality while providing the fine-grained controllability and long-form stability required for production-grade voice applications, from zero-shot cloning and hour-long narration to token- and phoneme-level control across multilingual and code-switched speech.

  • State-of-the-art evaluation performance — top-tier objective and subjective results across standard TTS benchmarks and in-house human preference testing, validating both fidelity and naturalness.

  • Zero-shot Voice Cloning (Voice Clone) — clone a target speaker’s timbre (and part of speaking style) from short reference audio, without speaker-specific fine-tuning.

  • Ultra-long Speech Generation (up to 1 hour) — support continuous long-form speech generation for up to one hour in a single run, designed for extended narration and long-session content creation.

  • Token-level Duration Control — control pacing, rhythm, pauses, and speaking rate at token resolution for precise alignment and expressive delivery.

  • Phoneme-level Pronunciation Control — supports:

    • pure Pinyin input
    • pure IPA phoneme input
    • mixed Chinese / English / Pinyin / IPA input in any combination
  • Multilingual support — high-quality multilingual synthesis with robust generalization across languages and accents.

  • Code-switching — natural mixed-language generation within a single utterance (e.g., Chinese–English), with smooth transitions, consistent speaker identity, and pronunciation-aware rendering on both sides of the switch.

1.3 Model Architecture

MOSS-TTS includes two complementary architectures, both trained and released to explore different performance/latency tradeoffs and to support downstream research.

Architecture A: Delay Pattern (MossTTSDelay)

  • Single Transformer backbone with (n_vq + 1) heads.
  • Uses delay scheduling for multi-codebook audio tokens.
  • Strong long-context stability, efficient inference, and production-friendly behavior.

Architecture B: Global Latent + Local Transformer (MossTTSLocal)

  • Backbone produces a global latent per time step.
  • A lightweight Local Transformer emits a token block per step.
  • Streaming-friendly with simpler alignment (no delay scheduling).

Why train both?

  • Exploration of architectural potential and validation across multiple generation paradigms.
  • Different tradeoffs: Delay pattern tends to be faster and more stable for long-form synthesis; Local is smaller and excels on objective benchmarks.
  • Open-source value: two strong baselines for research, ablation, and downstream innovation.

Input Types

UserMessage

Field Type Required Description
text str Yes Text to synthesize. Supports Chinese, English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, etc. Can mix raw text with Pinyin or IPA for pronunciation control.
reference List[str] No Reference audio for voice cloning. For current MOSS-TTS, one audio is expected in the list.
tokens int No Expected number of audio tokens. 1s ≈ 12.5 tokens.

AssistantMessage

Field Type Required Description
audio_codes_list List[str] Only for continuation Prefix audio for continuation-based cloning. Use audio file paths or URLs.

Generation Hyperparameters

Parameter Type Default Description
max_new_tokens int Controls total generated audio tokens. Use duration rule: 1s ≈ 12.5 tokens.
audio_temperature float 1.7 Higher values increase variation; lower values stabilize prosody.
audio_top_p float 0.8 Nucleus sampling cutoff. Lower values are more conservative.
audio_top_k int 25 Top-K sampling. Lower values tighten sampling space.
audio_repetition_penalty float 1.0 >1.0 discourages repeating patterns.

Note: MOSS-TTS is a pretrained base model and is sensitive to decoding hyperparameters. See Released Models for recommended defaults.

Pinyin Input

Use tone-numbered Pinyin such as ni3 hao3 wo3 men1. You can convert Chinese text with pypinyin, then adjust tones for pronunciation control.

import re
from pypinyin import pinyin, Style

CN_PUNCT = r",。!?;:、()“”‘’"


def fix_punctuation_spacing(s: str) -> str:
    s = re.sub(rf"\s+([{CN_PUNCT}])", r"\1", s)
    s = re.sub(rf"([{CN_PUNCT}])\s+", r"\1", s)
    return s


def zh_to_pinyin_tone3(text: str, strict: bool = True) -> str:
    result = pinyin(
        text,
        style=Style.TONE3,
        heteronym=False,
        strict=strict,
        errors="default",
    )

    s = " ".join(item[0] for item in result)
    return fix_punctuation_spacing(s)

text = zh_to_pinyin_tone3("您好,请问您来自哪座城市?")
print(text)

# Expected: nin2 hao3,qing3 wen4 nin2 lai2 zi4 na3 zuo4 cheng2 shi4?
# Try: nin2 hao3,qing4 wen3 nin2 lai2 zi4 na4 zuo3 cheng4 shi3?

IPA Input

Use /.../ to wrap IPA sequences so they are distinct from normal text. You can use DeepPhonemizer to convert English paragraphs or words into IPA sequences.

from dp.phonemizer import Phonemizer

# Download a phonemizer checkpoint from https://public-asai-dl-models.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/DeepPhonemizer/en_us_cmudict_ipa_forward.pt
model_path = "<path-to-phonemizer-checkpoint>"
phonemizer = Phonemizer.from_checkpoint(model_path)

english_texts = "Hello, may I ask which city you are from?"
phoneme_outputs = phonemizer(
    english_texts,
    lang="en_us",
    batch_size=8
)
model_input_text = f"/{phoneme_outputs}/"
print(model_input_text)

# Expected: /həloʊ, meɪ aɪ æsk wɪtʃ sɪti juː ɑːr frʌm?/
