  • Patent number: 12586600
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a current spectrogram frame and reconstructing a phase of the current spectrogram frame by, for each corresponding committed spectrogram frame in a sequence of M number of committed spectrogram frames preceding the current spectrogram frame, obtaining a value of a committed phase of the corresponding committed spectrogram frame and estimating the phase of the current spectrogram frame based on a magnitude of the current spectrogram frame and the value of the committed phase of each corresponding committed spectrogram frame in the sequence of M number of committed spectrogram frames preceding the current spectrogram frame. The method also includes synthesizing, for the current spectrogram frame, a new time-domain audio waveform frame based on the estimated phase of the current spectrogram frame.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11335324
    Abstract: A method for training a speech conversion model personalized for a target speaker with atypical speech includes obtaining a plurality of transcriptions in a set of spoken training utterances and obtaining a plurality of unspoken training text utterances. Each spoken training utterance is spoken by a target speaker associated with atypical speech and includes a corresponding transcription paired with a corresponding non-synthetic speech representation. The method also includes adapting, using the set of spoken training utterances, a text-to-speech (TTS) model to synthesize speech in a voice of the target speaker and that captures the atypical speech. For each unspoken training text utterance, the method also includes generating, as output from the adapted TTS model, a synthetic speech representation that includes the voice of the target speaker and that captures the atypical speech. The method also includes training the speech conversion model based on the synthetic speech representations.
