Extracts speaker identity and prosodic characteristics from a reference audio sample using a speaker encoder network, then conditions the TTS decoder to reproduce those characteristics in synthesized speech. The encoder produces a fixed-size speaker embedding that captures voice timbre, pitch range, and speaking style without explicit parameter tuning. This embedding is concatenated with linguistic features during decoding, enabling the model to adapt output speech to match the reference speaker's acoustic properties.

Generates speech output in real-time by processing input text in chunks rather than waiting for complete text input, enabling low-latency streaming audio output.
