Mimi Codec
liveAudio codec that splits speech into semantic and acoustic streams
Details
Mimi takes a 24 kHz audio waveform and converts it into 32 token streams. The first stream captures phonetic content (what is being said), while the remaining streams carry acoustic details such as timbre and texture. This split allows users to manipulate and control different aspects of audio independently.
Best fit users
- •Audio researchers
- •AI model developers
- •Voice processing professionals
Why this one made the cut
This separation of semantic and acoustic information in audio allows for more nuanced manipulation and understanding of voice content. It enables features like selective encoding/decoding of speech characteristics, which has implications for voice synthesis and real-time voice processing applications.
What makes it different
Mimi's unique approach to automatically separating semantic and acoustic components through training rather than manual coding enables a new level of fine-grained audio manipulation.
