Text-to-speech (TTS) processing

Abstract:

During text-to-speech processing, a speech model creates output audio data, including speech, that corresponds to input text data that includes a representation of the speech. A spectrogram estimator estimates a frequency spectrogram of the speech; the corresponding frequency-spectrogram data is used to condition the speech model. A plurality of acoustic features corresponding to different segments of the input text data, such as phonemes, syllable-level features, and/or word-level features, may be separately encoded into context vectors; the spectrogram estimator uses these separate context vectors to create the frequency spectrogram.
