  • END-TO-END MODULAR SPEECH SYNTHESIS SYSTEMS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20230245644
    Abstract: A method for speech synthesis using prosody capture and transfer includes receiving a first speech in a target prosody and receiving a second speech in a target voice; extracting prosodic features from a first speech segment in the target prosody; generating a synthetic speech segment in the target voice with the target prosody based on transferring the prosodic features from the first speech segment per phoneme to a second speech segment.

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SYNTHESIZING CROSS-LINGUAL SPEECH
    Publication number: 20220189455
    Abstract: A method for synthesizing cross-lingual speech includes receiving a request for synthesizing speech, the request for synthesizing speech including a target text document and a target language. Phonetic transcriptions are generated for the target text document. Prosodic annotations for the target text document are generated based on the target text document and the target language. Phone durations and acoustic features are generated based on the phonetic transcriptions and the prosodic annotations using a neural network. A speech corresponding to the target text document in the target language is synthesized based on the generated phone durations and acoustic features.
