When using OuteTTS version 1.0, it is crucial to use the settings specified in the Sampling Configuration section.
The repetition penalty implementation is particularly important - this model requires penalization applied to a 64-token recent window,
rather than across the entire context window. Penalizing the entire context will cause the model to produce broken or low-quality output.
To address this limitation, all necessary samplers and patches for all backends are set up automatically in the outetts library.
If using a custom implementation, ensure you correctly implement these requirements.
OuteTTS Version 1.0
This update brings significant improvements in speech synthesis and voice cloning—delivering a more powerful, accurate, and user-friendly experience in a compact size.
OuteTTS Python Package v0.4.2
New version adds batched inference generation with the latest OuteTTS release.

Beyond Supported Languages: The model can generate speech in untrained languages with varying success. Experiment with unlisted languages, though results may not be optimal.
Usage Recommendations
Speaker Reference
The model is designed to be used with a speaker reference. Without one, it generates random vocal characteristics, often leading to lower-quality outputs.
The model inherits the referenced speaker's emotion, style, and accent.
When transcribing to other languages with the same speaker, you may observe the model retaining the original accent.
Multilingual Application
It is recommended to create a speaker profile in the language you intend to use. This helps achieve the best results in that specific language, including tone, accent, and linguistic features.
While the model supports cross-lingual speech, it still relies on the reference speaker. If the speaker has a distinct accent—such as British English—other languages may carry that accent as well.
Optimal Audio Length
Best Performance: Generate audio around 42 seconds in a single run (approximately 8,192 tokens). It is recomended not to near the limits of this windows when generating. Usually, the best results are up to 7,000 tokens.
Context Reduction with Speaker Reference: If the speaker reference is 10 seconds long, the effective context is reduced to approximately 32 seconds.
Temperature Setting Recommendations
Testing shows that a temperature of 0.4 is an ideal starting point for accuracy (with the sampling settings below). However, some voice references may benefit from higher temperatures for enhanced expressiveness or slightly lower temperatures for more precise voice replication.
Verifying Speaker Encoding
If the cloned voice quality is subpar, check the encoded speaker sample.
The DAC audio reconstruction model is lossy, and samples with clipping, excessive loudness, or unusual vocal features may introduce encoding issues that impact output quality.

For optimal results with this TTS model, use the following sampling settings.
