2025-12-03: 📣 We open-sourced VibeVoice‑Realtime‑0.5B, a real‑time text‑to‑speech model that supports streaming text input and robust long-form speech generation. Try it on Colab.

To mitigate deepfake risks and ensure low latency for the first speech chunk, voice prompts are provided in an embedded format. For users requiring voice customization, please reach out to our team. We will also be expanding the range of available speakers.

(Launch your own realtime demo via the websocket example in Usage).

2025-09-05: VibeVoice is an open-source research framework intended to advance collaboration in the speech synthesis community. After release, we discovered instances where the tool was used in ways inconsistent with the stated intent. Since responsible use of AI is one of Microsoft’s guiding principles, we have disabled this repo until we are confident that out-of-scope use is no longer possible.

VibeVoice is a novel framework designed for generating expressive, long-form, multi-speaker conversational audio, such as podcasts, from text. It addresses significant challenges in traditional Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems, particularly in scalability, speaker consistency, and natural turn-taking.
