Seed-VC is a zero-shot voice conversion technology that enables high-quality audio output and timbre similarity without requiring specific training.
What is Seed-VC?
Seed-VC is a zero-shot voice conversion technology that achieves high-quality audio output and timbre similarity based on contextual learning. Users do not need to perform specific training; they only need to provide a 1 to 30-second reference voice sample to achieve voice cloning and conversion. This technology is particularly suitable for voice conversion research, entertainment, media production, and speech synthesis. Seed-VC supports zero-shot singing voice conversion, transforming speech into singing while maintaining the original voice's timbre characteristics. Seed-VC provides command-line tools and a Gradio web interface, making it easy for users to perform voice conversions.
