SpeakStream: Streaming Text-to-Speech with Interleaved Data

With the increasing integration of speech front-ends and large language models (LLM),
there is a need to explore architectures that integrate these modalities.
While end-to-end models have been explored extensively, cascaded models that stream outputs from LLMs to TTS seem to be oddly under-explored, even though they are potentially much simpler.
Using traditional text-to-speech systems to convert LLM outputs to audio, however, poses a technical problem because they need entire utterances to generate sytlistic audio.
In this paper we present a ‘streaming’ TTS that can generate audio from…
