Alternate Endings: Improving Prosody for Incremental Neural TTS with Predicted Future Text Input
Brooke Stephenson, Thomas Hueber, Laurent Girin +1
The prosody of a spoken word is determined by its surrounding context. In incremental text-to-speech synthesis, where the synthesizer produces an output before it has access to the…

What the Future Brings: Investigating the Impact of Lookahead for Incremental Neural TTS
Brooke Stephenson, Laurent Besacier, Laurent Girin +1
In incremental text to speech synthesis (iTTS), the synthesizer produces an audio output before it has access to the entire input sentence. In this paper, we study the behavior of…
