  • Text-to-speech synthesis using an autoencoder
    Patent number: 10249289
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for text-to-speech synthesis using an autoencoder. In some implementations, data indicating a text for text-to-speech synthesis is obtained. Data indicating a linguistic unit of the text is provided as input to an encoder. The encoder is configured to output speech unit representations indicative of acoustic characteristics based on linguistic information. A speech unit representation that the encoder outputs is received. A speech unit is selected to represent the linguistic unit, the speech unit being selected from among a collection of speech units based on the speech unit representation output by the encoder. Audio data for a synthesized utterance of the text that includes the selected speech unit is provided.
