  • Publication number: 20250149023
    Abstract: There is provided a speech synthesis system and method with an adjustable utterance length. The speech synthesis method according to an embodiment predicts a duration of each phoneme corresponding to a speech mask from the speech mask and a text to be synthesized with the speech mask, encodes the text to be synthesized and extracts a text sequence which is expressed by feature information of the text, generates a speech frame sequence by regulating a length of each phoneme of the text sequence according to the predicted duration of each phoneme corresponding to the speech mask, and synthesizes a speech from the generated speech frame sequence. Accordingly, a length of a speech to be synthesized can be freely regulated as a user desires by regulating a length of a speech mask.

  • Publication number: 20250149020
    Abstract: There is provided a training dataset construction method for speech synthesis through fusion of language, speaker, emotion within an utterance. A training dataset construction method of a speech synthesis model according to an embodiment collects speech data having different speech utterance information, increases the speech data by fusing the collected speech data within one utterance, and generates a training dataset by using the increased speech data. Accordingly, a training dataset for speech synthesis is constructed through fusion of language, speaker, emotion within one utterance, so that quality of speech synthesis of multi-speaker/multi-language/emotion can be enhanced.
