### Abstract Existing autoregressive large-scale text-to-speech (TTS) models have advantages in speech naturalness, but their token-by-token generation mechanism makes it difficult to precisely control the duration of synthesized speech. This becomes a significant limitation in applications requiring strict audio-visual synchronization, such as video dubbing. This paper introduces IndexTTS2, which proposes a novel, general, and autoregressive model-friendly method for speech duration control. The method supports two generation modes: one explicitly specifies the number of generated tokens to precisely control speech duration; the other freely generates speech in an autoregressive manner without specifying the number of tokens, while faithfully reproducing the prosodic features of the input prompt. Furthermore, IndexTTS2 achieves disentanglement between emotional expression and speaker identity, enabling independent control over timbre and emotion. In the zero-shot setting, the model can accurately reconstruct the target timbre (from the timbre prompt) while perfectly reproducing the specified emotional tone (from the style prompt). To enhance speech clarity in highly emotional expressions, we incorporate GPT latent representations and design a novel three-stage training paradigm to improve the stability of the generated speech. Additionally, to lower the barrier for emotional control, we designed a soft instruction mechanism based on text descriptions by fine-tuning Qwen3, effectively guiding the generation of speech with the desired emotional orientation. Finally, experimental results on multiple datasets show that IndexTTS2 outperforms state-of-the-art zero-shot TTS models in terms of word error rate, speaker similarity, and emotional fidelity.

It *may* also be necessary to add the current directory to your `PYTHONPATH`, to help it find the IndexTTS modules. Example of running a script via `uv`: ```bash PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:." uv run indextts/infer_v2.py ``` Here are several examples of how to use IndexTTS2 in your own scripts: 1. Synthesize new speech with a single reference audio file (voice cloning): ```python from indextts.infer_v2 import IndexTTS2 tts = IndexTTS2(cfg_path="checkpoints/config.yaml", model_dir="checkpoints", use_fp16=False, use_cuda_kernel=False) text = "Translate for me, what is a surprise!" tts.infer(spk_audio_prompt='examples/voice_01.wav', text=text, output_path="gen.wav", verbose=True) ``` 2. Using a separate, emotional reference audio file to condition the speech synthesis: ```python from indextts.infer_v2 import IndexTTS2 tts = IndexTTS2(cfg_path="checkpoints/config.yaml", model_dir="checkpoints", use_fp16=False, use_cuda_kernel=False) text = "酒楼丧尽天良，开始借机竞拍房间，哎，一群蠢货。" tts.infer(spk_audio_prompt='examples/voice_07.wav', text=text, output_path="gen.wav", emo_audio_prompt="examples/emo_sad.wav", verbose=True) ``` 3. When an emotional reference audio file is specified, you can optionally set the `emo_alpha` to adjust how much it affects the output. Valid range is `0.0 - 1.0`, and the default value is `1.0` (100%): ```python from indextts.infer_v2 import IndexTTS2 tts = IndexTTS2(cfg_path="checkpoints/config.yaml", model_dir="checkpoints", use_fp16=False, use_cuda_kernel=False) text = "酒楼丧尽天良，开始借机竞拍房间，哎，一群蠢货。" tts.infer(spk_audio_prompt='examples/voice_07.wav', text=text, output_path="gen.wav", emo_audio_prompt="examples/emo_sad.wav", emo_alpha=0.9, verbose=True) ``` 4. It's also possible to omit the emotional reference audio and instead provide an 8-float list specifying the intensity of each emotion, in the following order: `[happy, angry, sad, afraid, disgusted, melancholic, surprised, calm]`. You can additionally use the `use_random` parameter to introduce stochasticity during inference; the default is `False`, and setting it to `True` enables randomness: ```python from indextts.infer_v2 import IndexTTS2 tts = IndexTTS2(cfg_path="checkpoints/config.yaml", model_dir="checkpoints", use_fp16=False, use_cuda_kernel=False) text = "哇塞！这个爆率也太高了！欧皇附体了！" tts.infer(spk_audio_prompt='examples/voice_10.wav', text=text, output_path="gen.wav", emo_vector=[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.45, 0], use_random=False, verbose=True) ``` 5. Alternatively, you can enable `use_emo_text` to guide the emotions based on your provided `text` script. Your text script will then automatically be converted into emotion vectors. You can introduce randomness with `use_random` (default: `False`; `True` enables randomness): ```python from indextts.infer_v2 import IndexTTS2 tts = IndexTTS2(cfg_path="checkpoints/config.yaml", model_dir="checkpoints", use_fp16=False, use_cuda_kernel=False) text = "快躲起来！是他要来了！他要来抓我们了！" tts.infer(spk_audio_prompt='examples/voice_12.wav', text=text, output_path="gen.wav", use_emo_text=True, use_random=False, verbose=True) ``` 6. It's also possible to directly provide a specific text emotion description via the `emo_text` parameter. Your emotion text will then automatically be converted into emotion vectors. This gives you separate control of the text script and the text emotion description: ```python from indextts.infer_v2 import IndexTTS2 tts = IndexTTS2(cfg_path="checkpoints/config.yaml", model_dir="checkpoints", use_fp16=False, use_cuda_kernel=False) text = "快躲起来！是他要来了！他要来抓我们了！" emo_text = "你吓死我了！你是鬼吗？" tts.infer(spk_audio_prompt='examples/voice_12.wav', text=text, output_path="gen.wav", use_emo_text=True, emo_text=emo_text, use_random=False, verbose=True) ``` ### Legacy: IndexTTS1 User Guide You can also use our previous IndexTTS1 model by importing a different module: ```python from indextts.infer import IndexTTS tts = IndexTTS(model_dir="checkpoints",cfg_path="checkpoints/config.yaml") voice = "examples/voice_07.wav" text = "大家好，我现在正在bilibili 体验 ai 科技，说实话，来之前我绝对想不到！AI技术已经发展到这样匪夷所思的地步了！比如说，现在正在说话的其实是B站为我现场复刻的数字分身，简直就是平行宇宙的另一个我了。如果大家也想体验更多深入的AIGC功能，可以访问 bilibili studio，相信我，你们也会吃惊的。" tts.infer(voice, text, 'gen.wav') ``` For more detailed information, see [README_INDEXTTS_1_5](archive/README_INDEXTTS_1_5.md), or visit the IndexTTS1 repository at index-tts:v1.5.0. ## Our Releases and Demos ### IndexTTS2: [[Paper]](https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.21619); [[Demo]](https://index-tts.github.io/index-tts2.github.io/) ### IndexTTS1: [[Paper]](https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.05512); [[Demo]](https://index-tts.github.io/); [[ModelScope]](https://modelscope.cn/studios/IndexTeam/IndexTTS-Demo); [[HuggingFace]](https://huggingface.co/spaces/IndexTeam/IndexTTS) ## Acknowledgements 1.
