Unlocking Fine-Grained and Within-Utterance Speaking Style Control in Prompt-Based Text-to-Speech Models

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2605.27376v1 Announce Type: cross While prompt-based text-to-speech (TTS) models enable natural language-driven speaking style control, they often provide limited fine-grained control and apply a single global style across an utterance. This restricts practical use cases that require continuous style attribute interpolation across utterances and time-varying style transitions within a single utterance. In this paper, we propose novel techniques to achieve both capabilities in existing prompt-based TTS models.
