The core speech cloning function of CSM Voice Cloning is not able to perfectly replicate the original voice, but it can effectively retain the key features of the target sound source. In terms of technical implementation, the system analyzes the input 2-3 minute audio samples to extract the key features of the voice such as frequency, timbre, rhythm, etc., and then generates a new voice by combining the text-to-speech capability of the CSM-1B model.
The effect of use is shown in:
- Generated speech has the tonal characteristics of the original speaker
- Can reflect the unique rhythms and pronunciation habits of individual speakers
- Better for clear, noiseless samples
- Better results can be achieved through multiple attempts and parameter adjustments.
Compared to professional-grade commercial cloning solutions, there is a gap in its effectiveness, but as an open-source tool has been able to meet the basic application requirements.
