We present XPhoneBERT, the first multilingual model pre-trained to learn phoneme representations for the downstream text-to-speech (TTS) task. Our XPhoneBERT has the same model architecture as BERT-base, trained using the RoBERTa pre-training approach on 330M phoneme-level sentences from nearly 100 languages and locales. Experimental results show that employing XPhoneBERT as an input phoneme encoder significantly boosts the performance of a strong neural TTS model in terms of naturalness and prosody and also helps produce fairly high-quality speech with limited training data. We publicly release our pre-trained XPhoneBERT with the hope that it would facilitate future research and downstream TTS applications for multiple languages. Our XPhoneBERT model is available at https://github.com/VinAIResearch/XPhoneBERT
