Show HN: TTS Arena V2

Hi HN,

I just launched TTS Arena V2 - a platform for benchmarking TTS models by blind A/B testing. The goal is to make it easy to compare quality between open-source and commercial models, including conversational ones.

What's new in V2:

- Conversational Arena: Evaluate models like CSM-1B, Dia 1.6B, and PlayDialog in multi-turn settings - Personal Leaderboard: Optional login to see which models you tend to prefer - Multi-speaker TTS: Random voices per generation to reduce speaker bias - Performance Upgrade: Rebuilt from Gradio -> Flask. Much faster with fewer failed generations. - Keyboard Shortcuts: Vote entirely via keyboard

Also added models like MegaTTS 3, Cartesia Sonic, and ElevenLabs' full lineup.

I'd love any feedback, feature suggestions, or ideas for models to include.

Can Dia not generate non-conversational TTS? I also think it will lose in conversational most times because by default it speaks too fast.

I like your UI and it feels snappier than the other TTS Arena I have seen. I would still like it to track the personal leaderboard though without logging in.
