supertonic-3

Quick Start

Install the Python SDK and generate speech immediately. On first run, the SDK downloads the model assets from Hugging Face.

pip install supertonic

from supertonic import TTS

tts = TTS(auto_download=True)
style = tts.get_voice_style(voice_name="M1")

text = "A gentle breeze moved through the open window while everyone listened to the story."
wav, duration = tts.synthesize(text, voice_style=style, lang="en")

tts.save_audio(wav, "output.wav")
print(f"Generated {duration:.2f}s of audio")

What's New in Supertonic 3

• 31 languages: expanded from the 5-language Supertonic 2 release.
• More stable reading: fewer repeat and skip failures, especially on short and long utterances.
• Higher speaker similarity: improved similarity across the shared-language set compared with Supertonic 2.
• Expression tags: supports simple tags such as , , and ``.

Custom Voices and Audio Samples

The open-weight package includes fixed preset voice styles for immediate local inference. If you want to hear how Supertonic 3 performs with zero-shot custom voice styles, visit the Audio Sample Demo to compare reference audio and generated speech across several use cases. To create your own Supertonic 3 voice-style JSON from reference audio, use Supertonic Voice Builder; purchased Voice Builder styles include downloadable embeddings for both Supertonic 2 and Supertonic 3.

Here are a few reference/generated pairs from the audio sample demo:

Call center, English Text: Good morning, thank you for calling. How can I help you today?

Character voice, Japanese Text: ふふっ、退屈してたところなの。ちょうどいい遊び相手、見つけたかも♪

Elder character voice, Korean Text: 혼자 떠나기엔 길이 험하구나. 이 낡은 검을 가져가거라. 언젠가 어둠이 네 이름을 부르더라도, 부디 빛을 잊지 말거라.

Audiobook, English Text: I was not afraid of silence. I had lived with it long enough to know that, sometimes, it speaks more honestly than people do.

Audiobook, Japanese Text: その朝、ロンドンの霧はいつになく低く垂れこめていた。私はただの訪問者だと思っていたが、ホームズの目はすでに別の結論にたどり着いていた。

News, English Text: Here’s a story worth paying attention to. Supertone has released Supertonic 3, its on-device TTS model. This version expands support to thirty-one languages and improves reading stability.

Performance Highlights

Supertonic 3 is designed for practical on-device inference: compact enough to run locally, while staying competitive with much larger open TTS systems.

Reading Accuracy

Across measured languages, Supertonic 3 stays within a competitive WER/CER range against much larger open TTS models such as VoxCPM2, while preserving a lightweight on-device deployment path. Asterisked languages use CER; the others use WER.

Supertonic 2 to Supertonic 3

Compared with Supertonic 2, Supertonic 3 reduces repeat and skip failures, improves speaker similarity across the shared-language set, and expands language coverage from 5 to 31 languages.

Runtime Footprint

Supertonic 3 runs fast on CPU, even compared with larger baselines measured on A100 GPU, and uses substantially less memory. It does not require a GPU, which makes local, browser, and edge deployment much easier.

Model Size

At about 99M parameters across the public ONNX assets, Supertonic 3 is much smaller than 0.7B to 2B class open TTS systems. The smaller model size is a practical advantage for download size, startup time, and on-device inference.
