Zonos is a controllable audio synthesis engine and large language model for text-to-speech. It serves as a multilingual speech generator capable of producing audio in English, Japanese, Chinese, French, and German.
The system provides zero-shot voice cloning, allowing the replication of specific human voices using short audio samples. It supports the capture of nuanced behaviors, such as whispering, and provides parametric control over speaking rate, pitch, frequency, and emotional tone.
The project covers a broad range of expressive speech synthesis and custom audio generation capabilities, focusing on the conversion of written text into high-fidelity spoken audio.
