About

XTTS is the flagship voice cloning model of Coqui TTS, a Python deep learning toolkit for text-to-speech that has been battle-tested in research and production. XTTS v2 clones a voice from a reference clip as short as six seconds, speaks 17 languages with cross-language cloning, and streams audio at 24 kHz with latency under 200 milliseconds, which made it one of the most capable open voice cloning systems of its generation. The wider toolkit spans classic architectures such as Tacotron 2, Glow-TTS, and VITS along with multiple neural vocoders, provides training and fine-tuning recipes for new languages and voices, and through Fairseq integration exposes pretrained models covering more than 1100 languages. The toolkit code is licensed under MPL 2.0, while the XTTS model weights ship under the Coqui Public Model License, which restricts commercial use. Coqui the company shut down in early 2024, but community forks keep the project maintained and its models remain widely deployed.

Should you use XTTS?

Pick it when

Pick XTTS when you need cloning from about six seconds of audio across 17 languages with sub 200 ms streaming, for personal, research, or internal use where the Coqui Public Model License's commercial limits do not apply.

Look elsewhere when

Skip it for commercial products, since the XTTS weights restrict commercial use and Coqui the company shut down in early 2024, leaving community forks. Chatterbox, CosyVoice, or Zonos give cloning under permissive licenses.

Alternatives to XTTS

  • Chatterbox TTS

    MIT licensed zero-shot cloning with emotion control and a 23-plus language model, the cleaner commercial path, though its low-latency Turbo variant is English only.

  • CosyVoice

    Apache-2.0 cross-lingual cloning in nine languages plus Chinese dialects with streaming near 150 ms, fewer languages but open for commercial use.

  • Zonos

    Apache-2.0 cloning at 44.1 kHz with rate, pitch, and emotion control in five languages on a 6 GB GPU, plus a hosted API if you want one.

  • Fish Speech

    Clones in 80+ languages with delivery tags, far wider than XTTS, but its weights carry a research license that also needs review.
