As we detailed in based on the main base paper and website, the advantages of athena are three-fold with the advantage of TTS:
1. Accurate Tone Color Cloning. it tries to accurately clone the reference tone color and generate speech in multiple languages and accents.
**2. Flexible Voice Style Control. **Athena enables granular control over voice styles, such as emotion and accent, as well as other style parameters including rhythm, pauses, and intonation.
3. Zero-shot Cross-lingual Voice Cloning. Neither of the language of the generated speech nor the language of the reference speech needs to be presented in the massive-speaker multi-lingual training dataset.
4. Better Audio Quality. Athena adopts a different training strategy that delivers better audio quality, based on VITS.
5 Native Multi-lingual Support. English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese and Korean are natively supported in our project.
6. FOSS. For exploring the field of voice coloning we have made it open-sourced.
