Dia TTS is an advanced open-source text-to-speech (TTS) solution designed to generate ultra-lifelike multi-speaker conversations with natural timing and tone. Unlike traditional TTS systems, Dia TTS captures the nuances of human dialogue, including pauses, interruptions, and variations in speaking speed, resulting in more engaging and authentic audio content. Its unique capabilities include producing non-verbal sounds directly from text cues—such as laughter, coughing, and throat clearing—adding a layer of realism to generated speech. Additionally, Dia TTS offers advanced voice cloning technology, allowing users to mimic any voice with just a short audio sample, and provides precise control over speech emotion and tone for expressive and context-appropriate output. Fully open-source under the Apache 2.0 license, Dia TTS is free to use and customize, fostering innovation and collaboration within the developer community.
