  • Publication number: 20220301542
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions. When the instructions are executed by the processor, the processor records a speech of a user corresponding to a text and obtains recorded data in which the text and the speech of the user are matched, stores an intermediate model trained based on a portion of the recorded data while training a speech model to generate a personalized text-to-speech (P-TTS) model corresponding to the user, generates an intermediate result from the training using the intermediate model and provides the generated intermediate result to the user, and receives feedback from the user on the intermediate result. Other example embodiments, in addition to the foregoing example embodiment, are also applicable.
