Step-Audio TTS 3B

Step-Audio TTS 3B uses a dual-codebook language-model design for speech synthesis. The repository includes a matching vocoder and a separate vocoder optimized for humming.

Use the correct waveform component

The release separates the language model's audio-token generation from waveform reconstruction. Humming has its own optimized vocoder.StepFun Step-Audio-TTS-3B model card

Keep speech and musical evaluation separate

Practical guidance. A low transcription error does not measure melody or timing. Evaluate humming and rap with listening tasks that include pitch, rhythm and continuity, then assess spoken content separately.
