dots.tts is a text-to-speech model from Rednote (Xiaohongshu) hilab. According to a creator review, it has about 2 billion parameters and supports zero-shot voice cloning, producing speech in a new voice from a short reference sample without fine-tuning.
The same review says it handles non-standard speech such as stuttering and whispering, supports multiple languages, and reports lower error rates and higher speaker similarity than recent open TTS models such as CosyVoice. These benchmark claims come from the creator's summary and were not verified against an official page.
It is reported to be released under Apache 2.0. A demo page exists at the project's GitHub Pages site. Repository, weights and paper links were not available when this entry was written, so details on hardware requirements, supported languages and exact release date are unconfirmed.
