Meta AI researchers have achieved a breakthrough in generative AI for speech. They have developed Voice box, the first model that can generalize to speech-generation tasks it was not specifically trained to accomplish with state-of-the-art performance. Voice box is a generative AI model that can help with audio editing, sampling and styling. This type of technology could be used in the future to help creators easily edit audio tracks, allow visually impaired people to hear written messages from friends in their voices, and enable people to speak any foreign language in their own voice.

Voice box is built upon the Flow Matching model, which is Meta’s latest advancement on non-autoregressive generative models that can learn highly non-deterministic mapping between text and speech. The model is trained on a large corpus of speech data and can generate high-quality speech samples that are both natural-sounding and expressive.

The potential applications of Voice box are vast and varied. For example, it could be used to create more realistic-sounding virtual assistants or chatbots, or to generate synthetic voices for audiobooks or podcasts. It could also be used to create more engaging video content by adding voiceovers or sound effects.
