Many recently published Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems produce audio close to real speech. However, TTS evaluation needs to be revisited to make sense of the results obtained with the new architectures, approaches and datasets. We propose evaluating the quality of synthetic speech as a combination of multiple factors such as prosody, speaker identity, and intelligibility. Our approach assesses how well synthetic speech mirrors real speech by obtaining correlates of each factor and measuring their distance from both real speech datasets and noise datasets. We benchmark 35 TTS systems developed between 2008 and 2024 and show that our score computed as an unweighted average of factors strongly correlates with the human evaluations from each time period.

  1. CallScreenBench: Benchmarking On-Device Models as Phone Secretaries

    cs.CR 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new phone-secretary benchmark shows quality scaling with capability, no triage scaling once degenerate baselines are subtracted, and more capable models relaying scam callback numbers more often.
