Key Points

  • JaiTTS-v1.0 is a Thai voice cloning text-to-speech model developed using continual training on a large Thai-focused speech corpus.
  • Built on a tokenizer-free autoregressive TTS architecture adapted from VoxCPM, JaiTTS-v1.0 can handle numerals and Thai-English code-switching directly without explicit text normalization.
  • The researchers evaluate both short- and long-duration speech generation to mirror realistic deployment scenarios.
  • The model reports state-of-the-art performance with a CER of 1.94%, slightly outperforming the human ground truth (1.98%) on short-duration tasks and matching human-level results on long-duration tasks.
  • In human preference tests, JaiTTS-v1.0 wins 283 out of 400 pairwise comparisons versus commercial flagship systems, with only 58 losses.

Abstract

We present JaiTTS-v1.0, a state-of-the-art Thai voice cloning text-to-speech model built through continual training on a large Thai-centric speech corpus. The model architecture is adapted from VoxCPM, a tokenizer-free autoregressive TTS model. JaiTTS-v1.0 directly processes numerals and Thai-English code-switching, which is very common in realistic settings, without explicit text normalization. We test the models on short-duration speech generation and long-duration speech generation, which reflects many real-world use cases. JaiTTS-v1.0 achieves a state-of-the-art CER of 1.94\%, surpassing the human ground truth of 1.98% for short-duration tasks while performing on par with human ground truth for long-duration tasks. In human judgment evaluations, our model wins 283 of 400 pairwise comparisons against commercial flagships, with only 58 losses.
