DiffSinger
Singing Voice Synthesis via Shallow Diffusion Mechanism
DiffSinger is an open-source PyTorch implementation of a diffusion-based acoustic model for singing-voice synthesis (SVS) and also text-to-speech (TTS) in a related variant. The core idea is to view generation of a sung voice (mel-spectrogram) as a diffusion process: starting from noise, the model iteratively “denoises” while being conditioned on a music score (lyrics, pitch, musical timing). This avoids some of the typical problems of prior SVS models — like over-smoothing or unstable GAN training — and produces more realistic, expressive, and natural-sounding singing. The method introduces a “shallow diffusion” mechanism: instead of diffusing over many steps, generation begins at a shallow step determined adaptively, which leverages prior knowledge learned by a simple mel-spectrogram decoder and speeds up inference. -

OpenVoice
Instant voice cloning by MIT and MyShell. Audio foundation model
OpenVoice is a versatile instant voice cloning system that can replicate a speaker’s tone color from just a short audio clip and then generate speech in multiple languages. It is designed not only to match the timbre of the reference voice, but also to give granular control over style parameters such as emotion, accent, rhythm, pauses, and intonation. The model supports cross-lingual and even zero-shot cross-lingual voice cloning, so a speaker recorded in one language can be made to speak naturally in others. Architecturally, OpenVoice separates “tone color” cloning from style control, which makes it easier to keep a consistent identity while flexibly changing prosody or language. The project provides open-weight models, inference code, and examples, making it suitable both for research and for building production voice experiences. It is actively developed by MyShell, which also integrates OpenVoice into broader agent and entertainment workflows. -

Auto Synced & Translated Dubs
Automatically translates the text of a video based on a subtitle file
Auto-Synced-Translated-Dubs is a toolchain that automatically translates and re-dubs videos using AI voices while keeping the new speech aligned to the original timing via subtitle files. It assumes you have a human-made SRT (or similar) subtitle file; the script then uses translation services such as Google Cloud or DeepL to generate translated subtitle tracks in one or more target languages. Using the timestamps of each subtitle line, it computes the required duration of each spoken segment and synthesizes audio via neural TTS services, producing one audio clip per subtitle entry. The tool then time-stretches or compresses each TTS clip to match the original speech duration exactly, which preserves lip-sync and rhythm as closely as possible without manual editing. Finally, it combines all the clips into a single dubbed audio track that can be muxed with the original video, along with new translated subtitle files. -
