VibeVoice: Open-source frontier voice AI

2026-03-06: 🚀 VibeVoice ASR is now part of a Transformers release! You can now use our speech recognition model directly through the Hugging Face Transformers library for seamless integration into your projects.

2026-01-21: 📣 We open-sourced VibeVoice-ASR, a unified speech-to-text model designed to handle 60-minute long-form audio in a single pass, generating structured transcriptions containing Who (Speaker), When (Timestamps), and What (Content), with support for User-Customized Context. Try it in Playground.

• ⭐️ VibeVoice-ASR is natively multilingual, supporting over 50 languages — check the supported languages for details.
• 🔥 The VibeVoice-ASR finetuning code is now available!
• ⚡️ vLLM inference is now supported for faster inference; see vllm-asr for more details. - 📑 VibeVoice-ASR Technique Report is available.

2025-12-16: 📣 We added experimental speakers to VibeVoice‑Realtime‑0.5B for exploration, including multilingual voices in nine languages (DE, FR, IT, JP, KR, NL, PL, PT, ES) and 11 distinct English style voices. Try it. More speaker types will be added over time.

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.

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 removed the VibeVoice-TTS code from this repository.

2025-08-25: 📣 We open-sourced VibeVoice-TTS, a long-form multi-speaker text-to-speech model that can synthesize speech up to 90 minutes long with up to 4 distinct speakers. — accepted as an Oral at ICLR 2026! 🔥

VibeVoice is a family of open-source frontier voice AI models that includes both Text-to-Speech (TTS) and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models.

A core innovation of VibeVoice is its use of continuous speech tokenizers (Acoustic and Semantic) operating at an ultra-low frame rate of 7.5 Hz. These tokenizers efficiently preserve audio fidelity while significantly boosting computational efficiency for processing long sequences. VibeVoice employs a next-token diffusion framework, leveraging a Large Language Model (LLM) to understand textual context and dialogue flow, and a diffusion head to generate high-fidelity acoustic details.
