INDEXTTS / 04 — Core capabilities

From Text to Natural Speech with Index TTS

Index TTS capability

From Text to Natural AI Speech

Key idea

Convert written content into natural audio for media, education, creative work, and applications.

Character-and-Pinyin modeling, speaker conditioning, and expressive controls help preserve pronunciation, identity, rhythm, and clarity.

Index TTS capability

Zero-Shot Voice Cloning with Index TTS

Key idea

Clone an authorized voice from one short reference clip without training a separate model for every speaker.

Use clear, unprocessed speech for stronger identity and only upload voices you own or have permission to use.

INDEXTTS / 05 — How it works

Create AI Speech in Four Steps

Move from a short script and authorized reference to reviewed audio.

  1. Enter your script

    Add the line or section you want to turn into speech.
  2. Upload an authorized voice

    Use a clean 3–10 second reference you own or may use.
  3. Choose model and controls

    Set emotion, language, pronunciation, speed, or duration.
  4. Generate and review

    Listen, revise, and download the approved result.

INDEXTTS / 06 — The model family

Compare the original model, version 2, and version 2.5.

Original

Index TTS

The zero-shot speech and voice-cloning foundation.

Emotion & duration

Index TTS 2

Expressive emotion and duration control with stable speaker identity.

Multilingual

Index TTS 2.5

Five languages, faster inference, pronunciation guidance, and speed control.

INDEXTTS / 07 — Built around control

A Voice Generator Built for More Control

Key idea

Shape pronunciation, speaker identity, emotion, pacing, and duration instead of accepting one fixed delivery.

Later models separate emotional performance from vocal identity, making alternate readings easier to compare and refine.

Pronunciation

Pronunciation guidance for difficult words and names.

Speaker identity

Preserve a recognizable voice across generations.

Emotional delivery

Change performance without replacing the voice.

Pacing & duration

Adjust timing and speaking speed.

Key idea
