• Abstract: Zero-shot Voice Cloning (VC) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) methods have advanced rapidly, enabling the generation of highly realistic synthetic speech and raising serious concerns about their misuse. While numerous detectors have been developed for English and Chinese, Spanish-spoken by over 600 million people worldwide-remains underrepresented in speech forensics. To address this gap, we introduce HISPASpoof, the first large-scale Spanish dataset designed for synthetic speech detection and attribution. It includes real speech from public corpora across six accents and synthetic speech generated with six zero-shot TTS systems. We evaluate five representative methods, showing that detectors trained on English fail to generalize to Spanish, while training on HISPASpoof substantially improves detection. We also evaluate synthetic speech attribution performance on HISPASpoof, i.e., identifying the generation method of synthetic speech. HISPASpoof thus provides a critical benchmark for advancing reliable and inclusive speech forensics in Spanish.

  This work proposes SeamlessExpressiveLM, a single speech language model for expressive S2ST. We decompose the complex source-to-target speech mapping into intermediate generation steps with chain-of-thought prompting. The model is first guided to translate target semantic content and then transfer the speaker style to multi-stream acoustic units.

  We introduce a novel model framework TransVIP that leverages diverse datasets in a cascade fashion. We propose two separated encoders to preserve the speaker's voice characteristics and isochrony from the source speech during the translation process. Our experiments on the French-English language pair demonstrate that our model outperforms the current state-of-the-art speech-to-speech translation model.

  Direct speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) is an attractive research topic with many advantages compared to cascaded S2ST. Direct S2ST suffers from the data scarcity problem because the corpora from speech of the source language to speech of the target language are very rare. We propose in this paper a Speech2S model, which is jointly pre-trained with unpaired speech and bilingual text data for direct speech-to-speech translation tasks.
