Announcing the Artificial Analysis Controlled Voice Arena - compare Text to Speech models on the same set of 8 cloned voices

The Controlled Voice Arena standardizes, through voice cloning, the set of voices that each model’s performance is evaluated on - separating specific voice preference from broader aspects of model quality, e.g., audio quality, pronunciation, pacing and tone. It complements our Provider Voice Arena, where each model uses a select set of its own available voices.

We have generated speech samples on models that offer voice cloning abilities using the same voice categories as our existing Provider Voice Arena, namely: 2 US Male voices, 2 US Female voices, 2 UK Male voices, 2 UK Female voices. Each model has been cloned on the same 1-2 minute audio recordings for each voice.

Voting is open now and we plan to announce the first leaderboard results this week.
