Traditional one-shot voice conversion (VC) requires a target recording during inference, limiting ease of usage in generating desired voice timbres. Text-guided generation offers an intuitive solution to convert voices to desired \"DreamVoices\" according to the users' needs. Our paper presents two major contributions to VC technology: (1) DreamVoiceDB, a robust dataset of voice timbre annotations for 900 speakers from VCTK and LibriTTS. (2) Two text-guided VC methods: DreamVC, an end-to-end diffusion-based text-guided VC model; and DreamVG, a versatile text-to-voice generation plugin that can be combined with any one-shot VC models. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed methods trained on the DreamVoiceDB dataset generate voice timbres accurately aligned with the text prompt and achieve high-quality VC.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.16314v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2406.16314v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"voice-conversion","task_name":"Voice Conversion"},{"task_slug":"text-guided-generation","task_name":"text-guided-generation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[{"slug":"dreamvoicedb","name":"DreamVoiceDB","full_name":""}],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2406.16314","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
