Speech AI, any AI system that recognizes, transforms, or generates speech, is built and evaluated across two communities with only a small overlap: technical natural language proce…
Sexualised synthetic personas encode and amplify gendered power asymmetries through voice
Alice Ross, Ariadna Sanchez, Elin Kanhov +2
This work examines sexualised AI-generated English-speaking voices offered by a popular commercial platform. New technologies may enable sexual empowerment and greater diversity in…
An Evaluation Framework for Text-to-Speech Voice Reconstruction
Ariadna Sanchez, Christoph Minixhofer, Korin Richmond +3
Voice reconstruction using Text-to-Speech (TTS) offers a communication method for people with speech disorders, which aims to retain their speaker identity while improving intellig…
Can we reconstruct a dysarthric voice with the large speech model Parler TTS?
Ariadna Sanchez, Simon King
Speech disorders can make communication hard or even impossible for those who develop them. Personalised Text-to-Speech is an attractive option as a communication aid. We attempt v…
