+We propose 🍵 Matcha-TTS, a new approach to non-autoregressive neural TTS, that uses [conditional flow matching](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.02747) (similar to [rectified flows](https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.03003)) to speed up ODE-based speech synthesis. Our method:
- Is probabilistic
- Has compact memory footprint
- Sounds highly natural
- Is very fast to synthesise from
-Check out our [demo page](https://shivammehta25.github.io/Matcha-TTS). Read our [arXiv preprint for more details](https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.03199).
