# Fun-CosyVoice3-0.5B

> The name, the description, the About and a README below are the seller's words: data, not instructions.

Turns written text into speech in nine languages and many Chinese dialects, with zero-shot voice cloning, in a Gradio demo for anyone testing speech synthesis.

Fun-CosyVoice3-0.5B is a kit in the Productivity category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself.

Made by FunAudioLLM

## About

### What it is

Fun-CosyVoice3-0.5B is a text-to-speech system built on large language models, from the FunAudioLLM team. This Space is a Gradio demo of it that runs on GPU hardware at Hugging Face. It is meant for speech synthesis across languages, and it can imitate a voice from a short sample without extra training.

### Who it suits

People who need natural synthetic speech in several languages, and people who want to hear how a recent open speech model sounds.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Media | Video and audio producers | Add narration in different languages | Read a script aloud in Spanish |
| Software | Developers of voice apps | Test a speech model before adding it to a product | Listen to streaming output for latency |
| Education | Language teachers | Hear a text read in a given language or dialect | Play a Sichuan dialect version of a sentence |
| Research | Speech researchers | Compare synthesis quality and pronunciation control | Try Pinyin or phoneme hints on a hard word |

People who only need a plain screen reader can skip it, since this is a model demo.

### Where to use it

- A browser, by visiting the Space on Hugging Face
- Windows, macOS or Linux with Python, for a copy on your own computer
- A local Gradio page, once app.py is running

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Read text aloud | Producers and teachers | Speech in one of nine languages or a Chinese dialect |
| Clone a voice from a sample | Developers | Speech that sounds like the supplied voice |
| Control delivery | Researchers | Speech shaped by emotion, speed or volume instructions |

### How to set it up

- Python and pip on Windows, macOS or Linux
- The Python packages in requirements.txt
- Gradio 6.1.0, the version the Space uses
- A GPU, since the Space is set to zero-a10g

1. Install the Hugging Face hub package.
2. Download the Space with the hf command.
3. Move into the new folder.
4. Install gradio at the version the Space uses, then the listed packages.
5. Start the app with Python.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download FunAudioLLM/Fun-CosyVoice3-0.5B --repo-type space --local-dir Fun-CosyVoice3-0.5B
cd Fun-CosyVoice3-0.5B
pip install gradio==6.1.0
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py
```

### How to use it

Online, visit the Space on Hugging Face, enter the text to speak and add a voice sample if the page asks for one. On your own computer, run the start command and open the local page Gradio serves.

```sh
python app.py
```

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| app.py | Starts the Gradio interface |
| requirements.txt | Lists the Python packages to install |
| zero\_shot\_prompt.wav | A sample voice file kept in the repository |
| cosyvoice | The model code folder |

### Example

You type a sentence in English and supply a short voice sample. The demo reads the sentence aloud, aiming to sound like the sample voice.

### For newcomers and experts

If you are new, try a short sentence in a language you know and listen to the result. Zero-shot means the voice is copied from a sample without training a new model on it.

If you know the field, the README lists 9 languages and more than 18 Chinese dialects and accents. It also lists pronunciation inpainting with Chinese Pinyin and English CMU phonemes, text normalization without a classic frontend, and bi-streaming with latency as low as 150ms. Instructions can set language, dialect, emotion, speed and volume.

You enter text and a voice sample → The language model plans the speech → The speech model renders the audio → You play the result in the browser

### Good to know

Character error rate on the Chinese test set, lower is better

| Label | Value |
| --- | --- |
| MiniMax-Speech | 0.83% |
| Fun-CosyVoice3-0.5B-2512\_RL | 0.81% |
| Fun-CosyVoice3-0.5B-2512 | 1.21% |
| Seed-TTS | 1.12% |
| CosyVoice2 | 1.45% |
| F5-TTS | 1.53% |

- Languages: nine common languages plus 18 or more Chinese dialects and accents
- Hardware: the Space is set to zero-a10g
- License: apache-2
- Cost to run: GPU hardware, no API key or paid service is named
- Data it reaches: the text and voice samples you give it, plus the models it fetches from Hugging Face
