NOVA-VAD, a lightweight and explainable Voice Activity Detector, achieves 93% accuracy on noisy audio from the UrbanSound8K dataset, outperforming WebRTC (58%), Pyannote (62%), and Silero (87%). It uses only scikit-learn, requires no GPU, and provides feature importance and confidence scores in plain English.

Freya-TTS releases tokenizer-free Turkish TTS model with 8.0% WER
Researchers introduce Freya-TTS, a compact, tokenizer-free text-to-speech model optimized for Turkish that achieves an 8.0% word error rate on the Freya-TR-Eval benchmark. The 183.2M-parameter non-autoregressive conditional flow-matching Diffusion Transformer operates in the frozen continuous latent space of AudioVAE2, enabling high-quality 48 kHz reconstruction without a phonemizer or discrete speech tokenizer.

Nvidia releases Nemotron-Labs-Audex-30B-A3B unified audio-text LLM
Nvidia has released Nemotron-Labs-Audex-30B-A3B, a unified audio-text large language model built on the Nemotron-Cascade-2-30B-A3B text-only MoE backbone. The model extends the original architecture with an audio encoder for inputs and discrete audio tokens for outputs, enabling capabilities in speech recognition, translation, text-to-speech, and audio generation.
