Computer-assisted Pronunciation Training -- Speech synthesis is almost all you need
Daniel Korzekwa, Jaime Lorenzo-Trueba, Thomas Drugman +1
The research community has long studied computer-assisted pronunciation training (CAPT) methods in non-native speech. Researchers focused on studying various model architectures, s…
Simple and Effective Multi-sentence TTS with Expressive and Coherent Prosody
Peter Makarov, Ammar Abbas, Mateusz Łajszczak +5
Generating expressive and contextually appropriate prosody remains a challenge for modern text-to-speech (TTS) systems. This is particularly evident for long, multi-sentence inputs…
Expressive, Variable, and Controllable Duration Modelling in TTS
Ammar Abbas, Thomas Merritt, Alexis Moinet +5
Duration modelling has become an important research problem once more with the rise of non-attention neural text-to-speech systems. The current approaches largely fall back to rely…
CopyCat2: A Single Model for Multi-Speaker TTS and Many-to-Many Fine-Grained Prosody Transfer
Sri Karlapati, Penny Karanasou, Mateusz Lajszczak +7
In this paper, we present CopyCat2 (CC2), a novel model capable of: a) synthesizing speech with different speaker identities, b) generating speech with expressive and contextually…
Distribution augmentation for low-resource expressive text-to-speech
Mateusz Lajszczak, Animesh Prasad, Arent van Korlaar +8
This paper presents a novel data augmentation technique for text-to-speech (TTS), that allows to generate new (text, audio) training examples without requiring any additional data.…
