Qwen3-TTS

Overview

Introduction

Qwen3-TTS covers 10 major languages (Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian) as well as multiple dialectal voice profiles to meet global application needs. In addition, the models feature strong contextual understanding, enabling adaptive control of tone, speaking rate, and emotional expression based on instructions and text semantics, and they show markedly improved robustness to noisy input text. Key features:

Powerful Speech Representation: Powered by the self-developed Qwen3-TTS-Tokenizer-12Hz, it achieves efficient acoustic compression and high-dimensional semantic modeling of speech signals. It fully preserves paralinguistic information and acoustic environmental features, enabling high-speed, high-fidelity speech reconstruction through a lightweight non-DiT architecture.
Universal End-to-End Architecture: Utilizing a discrete multi-codebook LM architecture, it realizes full-information end-to-end speech modeling. This completely bypasses the information bottlenecks and cascading errors inherent in traditional LM+DiT schemes, significantly enhancing the model’s versatility, generation efficiency, and performance ceiling.
Extreme Low-Latency Streaming Generation: Based on the innovative Dual-Track hybrid streaming generation architecture, a single model supports both streaming and non-streaming generation. It can output the first audio packet immediately after a single character is input, with end-to-end synthesis latency as low as 97ms, meeting the rigorous demands of real-time interactive scenarios.
Intelligent Text Understanding and Voice Control: Supports speech generation driven by natural language instructions, allowing for flexible control over multi-dimensional acoustic attributes such as timbre, emotion, and prosody. By deeply integrating text semantic understanding, the model adaptively adjusts tone, rhythm, and emotional expression, achieving lifelike “what you imagine is what you hear” output.

Quickstart

Environment Setup

The easiest way to quickly use Qwen3-TTS is to install the qwen-tts Python package from PyPI. This will pull in the required runtime dependencies and allow you to load any released Qwen3-TTS model. We recommend using a fresh, isolated environment to avoid dependency conflicts with existing packages. You can create a clean Python 3.12 environment like this:

then run:

If you want to develop or modify the code locally, install from source in editable mode.

Additionally, we recommend using FlashAttention 2 to reduce GPU memory usage.

If your machine has less than 96GB of RAM and lots of CPU cores, run:

Also, you should have hardware that is compatible with FlashAttention 2. Read more about it in the official documentation of the FlashAttention repository. FlashAttention 2 can only be used when a model is loaded in torch.float16 or torch.bfloat16.

Python Package Usage

After installation, you can import Qwen3TTSModel to run custom voice TTS, voice design, and voice clone. The model weights can be specified either as a Hugging Face model id (recommended) or as a local directory path you downloaded. For all the generate_* functions below, besides the parameters shown and explicitly documented, you can also pass generation kwargs supported by Hugging Face Transformers model.generate, e.g., max_new_tokens, top_p, etc.

Custom Voice Generate

For custom voice models (Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B/0.6B-CustomVoice), you just need to call generate_custom_voice, passing a single string or a batch list, along with language, speaker, and optional instruct. You can also call model.get_supported_speakers() and model.get_supported_languages() to see which speakers and languages the current model supports.

python

import torchimport soundfile as sffrom qwen_tts import Qwen3TTSModel
model = Qwen3TTSModel.from_pretrained(    "Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-CustomVoice",    device_map="cuda:0",    dtype=torch.bfloat16,    attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",)
# single inferencewavs, sr = model.generate_custom_voice(    text="其实我真的有发现，我是一个特别善于观察别人情绪的人。",    language="Chinese", # Pass `Auto` (or omit) for auto language adaptive; if the target language is known, set it explicitly.    speaker="Vivian",    instruct="用特别愤怒的语气说", # Omit if not needed.)sf.write("output_custom_voice.wav", wavs[0], sr)
# batch inferencewavs, sr = model.generate_custom_voice(    text=[        "其实我真的有发现，我是一个特别善于观察别人情绪的人。",         "She said she would be here by noon."    ],    language=["Chinese", "English"],    speaker=["Vivian", "Ryan"],    instruct=["", "Very happy."])sf.write("output_custom_voice_1.wav", wavs[0], sr)sf.write("output_custom_voice_2.wav", wavs[1], sr)

For Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B/0.6B-CustomVoice models, the supported speaker list and speaker descriptions are provided below. We recommend using each speaker’s native language for the best quality. Of course, each speaker can speak any language supported by the model.

Speaker	Voice Description	Native language
Vivian	Bright, slightly edgy young female voice.	Chinese
Serena	Warm, gentle young female voice.	Chinese
Uncle_Fu	Seasoned male voice with a low, mellow timbre.	Chinese
Dylan	Youthful Beijing male voice with a clear, natural timbre.	Chinese (Beijing Dialect)
Eric	Lively Chengdu male voice with a slightly husky brightness.	Chinese (Sichuan Dialect)
Ryan	Dynamic male voice with strong rhythmic drive.	English
Aiden	Sunny American male voice with a clear midrange.	English
Ono_Anna	Playful Japanese female voice with a light, nimble timbre.	Japanese
Sohee	Warm Korean female voice with rich emotion.	Korean

Voice Design

For the voice design model (Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-VoiceDesign), you can use generate_voice_design to provide the target text and a natural-language instruct description.

python

import torchimport soundfile as sffrom qwen_tts import Qwen3TTSModel
model = Qwen3TTSModel.from_pretrained(    "Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-VoiceDesign",    device_map="cuda:0",    dtype=torch.bfloat16,    attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",)
# single inferencewavs, sr = model.generate_voice_design(    text="哥哥，你回来啦，人家等了你好久好久了，要抱抱！",    language="Chinese",    instruct="体现撒娇稚嫩的萝莉女声，音调偏高且起伏明显，营造出黏人、做作又刻意卖萌的听觉效果。",)sf.write("output_voice_design.wav", wavs[0], sr)
# batch inferencewavs, sr = model.generate_voice_design(    text=[      "哥哥，你回来啦，人家等了你好久好久了，要抱抱！",      "It's in the top drawer... wait, it's empty? No way, that's impossible! I'm sure I put it there!"    ],    language=["Chinese", "English"],    instruct=[      "体现撒娇稚嫩的萝莉女声，音调偏高且起伏明显，营造出黏人、做作又刻意卖萌的听觉效果。",      "Speak in an incredulous tone, but with a hint of panic beginning to creep into your voice."    ])sf.write("output_voice_design_1.wav", wavs[0], sr)sf.write("output_voice_design_2.wav", wavs[1], sr)

Voice Clone

For the voice clone model (Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B/0.6B-Base), to clone a voice and synthesize new content, you just need to provide a reference audio clip (ref_audio) along with its transcript (ref_text). ref_audio can be a local file path, a URL, a base64 string, or a (numpy_array, sample_rate) tuple. If you set x_vector_only_mode=True, only the speaker embedding is used so ref_text is not required, but cloning quality may be reduced.

python

import torchimport soundfile as sffrom qwen_tts import Qwen3TTSModel
model = Qwen3TTSModel.from_pretrained(    "Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base",    device_map="cuda:0",    dtype=torch.bfloat16,    attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",)
ref_audio = "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3-TTS-Repo/clone.wav"ref_text  = "Okay. Yeah. I resent you. I love you. I respect you. But you know what? You blew it! And thanks to you."
wavs, sr = model.generate_voice_clone(    text="I am solving the equation: x = [-b ± √(b²-4ac)] / 2a? Nobody can — it's a disaster (◍•͈⌔•͈◍), very sad!",    language="English",    ref_audio=ref_audio,    ref_text=ref_text,)sf.write("output_voice_clone.wav", wavs[0], sr)

If you need to reuse the same reference prompt across multiple generations (to avoid recomputing prompt features), build it once with create_voice_clone_prompt and pass it via voice_clone_prompt.

python

prompt_items = model.create_voice_clone_prompt(    ref_audio=ref_audio,    ref_text=ref_text,    x_vector_only_mode=False,)wavs, sr = model.generate_voice_clone(    text=["Sentence A.", "Sentence B."],    language=["English", "English"],    voice_clone_prompt=prompt_items,)sf.write("output_voice_clone_1.wav", wavs[0], sr)sf.write("output_voice_clone_2.wav", wavs[1], sr)

For more examples of reusable voice clone prompts, batch cloning, and batch inference, please refer to the example codes. With those examples and the generate_voice_clone function description, you can explore more advanced usage patterns.

Voice Design then Clone

If you want a designed voice that you can reuse like a cloned speaker, a practical workflow is: (1) use the VoiceDesign model to synthesize a short reference clip that matches your target persona, (2) feed that clip into create_voice_clone_prompt to build a reusable prompt, and then (3) call generate_voice_clone with voice_clone_prompt to generate new content without re-extracting features every time. This is especially useful when you want a consistent character voice across many lines.

python

import torchimport soundfile as sffrom qwen_tts import Qwen3TTSModel
# create a reference audio in the target style using the VoiceDesign modeldesign_model = Qwen3TTSModel.from_pretrained(    "Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-VoiceDesign",    device_map="cuda:0",    dtype=torch.bfloat16,    attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",)
ref_text = "H-hey! You dropped your... uh... calculus notebook? I mean, I think it's yours? Maybe?"ref_instruct = "Male, 17 years old, tenor range, gaining confidence - deeper breath support now, though vowels still tighten when nervous"ref_wavs, sr = design_model.generate_voice_design(    text=ref_text,    language="English",    instruct=ref_instruct)sf.write("voice_design_reference.wav", ref_wavs[0], sr)
# build a reusable clone prompt from the voice design referenceclone_model = Qwen3TTSModel.from_pretrained(    "Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base",    device_map="cuda:0",    dtype=torch.bfloat16,    attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",)
voice_clone_prompt = clone_model.create_voice_clone_prompt(    ref_audio=(ref_wavs[0], sr),   # or "voice_design_reference.wav"    ref_text=ref_text,)
sentences = [    "No problem! I actually... kinda finished those already? If you want to compare answers or something...",    "What? No! I mean yes but not like... I just think you're... your titration technique is really precise!",]
# reuse it for multiple single callswavs, sr = clone_model.generate_voice_clone(    text=sentences[0],    language="English",    voice_clone_prompt=voice_clone_prompt,)sf.write("clone_single_1.wav", wavs[0], sr)
wavs, sr = clone_model.generate_voice_clone(    text=sentences[1],    language="English",    voice_clone_prompt=voice_clone_prompt,)sf.write("clone_single_2.wav", wavs[0], sr)
# or batch generate in one callwavs, sr = clone_model.generate_voice_clone(    text=sentences,    language=["English", "English"],    voice_clone_prompt=voice_clone_prompt,)for i, w in enumerate(wavs):    sf.write(f"clone_batch_{i}.wav", w, sr)

Tokenizer Encode and Decode

If you only want to encode and decode audio for transport or training and so on, Qwen3TTSTokenizer supports encode/decode with paths, URLs, numpy waveforms, and dict/list payloads, for example:

python

import soundfile as sffrom qwen_tts import Qwen3TTSTokenizer
tokenizer = Qwen3TTSTokenizer.from_pretrained(    "Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-Tokenizer-12Hz",    device_map="cuda:0",)
enc = tokenizer.encode("https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen3-TTS-Repo/tokenizer_demo_1.wav")wavs, sr = tokenizer.decode(enc)sf.write("decode_output.wav", wavs[0], sr)

For more tokenizer examples (including different input formats and batch usage), please refer to the example codes. With those examples and the description for Qwen3TTSTokenizer, you can explore more advanced usage patterns.

Launch Local Web UI Demo

To launch the Qwen3-TTS web ui demo, simply install the qwen-tts package and run qwen-tts-demo. Use the command below for help:

To launch the demo, you can use the following commands:

bash

# CustomVoice modelqwen-tts-demo Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-CustomVoice --ip 0.0.0.0 --port 8000# VoiceDesign modelqwen-tts-demo Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-VoiceDesign --ip 0.0.0.0 --port 8000# Base modelqwen-tts-demo Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base --ip 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

And then open http://<your-ip>:8000, or access it via port forwarding in tools like VS Code.

Base Model HTTPS Notes

To avoid browser microphone permission issues after deploying the server, for Base model deployments, it is recommended/required to run the gradio service over HTTPS (especially when accessed remotely or behind modern browsers/gateways). Use --ssl-certfile and --ssl-keyfile to enable HTTPS. First we need to generate a private key and a self-signed cert (valid for 365 days):

Then run the demo with HTTPS:

And open https://<your-ip>:8000 to experience it. If your browser shows a warning, it’s expected for self-signed certificates. For production, use a real certificate.
