Raon-OpenTTS

Raon-OpenTTS is an open-data, open-weight zero-shot TTS system that performs on par with state-of-the-art closed-data models. This is the 1B variant.

Key Features

• Fully Open: Both model weights and training data (615K hours, 11 English speech datasets) are publicly available for reproducible TTS research.
• Competitive with Closed-Data SOTA: Ranks 1st or 2nd in WER and SIM among recent zero-shot TTS models on Seed-TTS-Eval and CV3-Eval, matching systems trained on millions of hours of proprietary data.
• Robust Across Acoustic Conditions: Achieves the best average WER and SIM on Raon-OpenTTS-Eval across Clean, Noisy, Wild, and Expressive regimes.
• Large-Scale Curated Data: Trained on Raon-OpenTTS-Core (510K hours), quality-filtered from Raon-OpenTTS-Pool using combined DNSMOS, WER, and VAD rank-based filtering.
• DiT Architecture: Based on F5-TTS Diffusion Transformer with flow matching, enabling efficient zero-shot speech synthesis.

Benchmark Results

Bold marks the best result and the Raon-OpenTTS rows. All numbers are from the technical report.

Seed-TTS-Eval

WER measured via Whisper-large-v3; SIM via WavLM-large.

CV3-Eval

WER on CV3-EN and CV3-Hard-EN; SIM via ERes2Net, DNSMOS for perceptual quality (CV3-Hard-EN).

Raon-OpenTTS-Eval

4 acoustic regimes (Clean, Noisy, Wild, Expressive), 12 datasets, 6K prompt-text pairs. Overall is computed over all evaluation samples.

Inference

For inference code and usage instructions, see krafton-ai/Raon-OpenTTS.

Training Details

Raon-OpenTTS-1B was trained for 520K update steps on 48 NVIDIA B200 GPUs using the Raon-OpenTTS-Core dataset (510.1K hours of English speech). The model uses AdamW optimization with a peak learning rate of 1e-4, 50K warmup steps, and linear decay. Gradient norm is clipped at 1.0. Waveform synthesis uses a HiFi-GAN vocoder pretrained on LibriTTS at 16kHz.
