Lightweight End-to-end Text-to-speech Synthesis for low resource on-device applications
Biel Tura Vecino, Adam Gabryś, Daniel Mątwicki +4
Recent works have shown that modelling raw waveform directly from text in an end-to-end (E2E) fashion produces more natural-sounding speech than traditional neural text-to-speech (…
Modelling low-resource accents without accent-specific TTS frontend
Georgi Tinchev, Marta Czarnowska, Kamil Deja +2
This work focuses on modelling a speaker's accent that does not have a dedicated text-to-speech (TTS) frontend, including a grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) module. Prior work on modellin…
Voice Conversion for Whispered Speech Synthesis
Marius Cotescu, Thomas Drugman, Goeric Huybrechts +2
We present an approach to synthesize whisper by applying a handcrafted signal processing recipe and Voice Conversion (VC) techniques to convert normally phonated speech to whispere…
Using VAEs and Normalizing Flows for One-shot Text-To-Speech Synthesis of Expressive Speech
Vatsal Aggarwal, Marius Cotescu, Nishant Prateek +2
We propose a Text-to-Speech method to create an unseen expressive style using one utterance of expressive speech of around one second. Specifically, we enhance the disentanglement…
