Learning to Speak Fluently in a Foreign Language: Multilingual Speech Synthesis and Cross-Language Voice Cloning
Yu Zhang, Ron J. Weiss, Heiga Zen +6
We present a multispeaker, multilingual text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis model based on Tacotron that is able to produce high quality speech in multiple languages. Moreover, the mode…
Parallel WaveNet: Fast High-Fidelity Speech Synthesis
Aaron van den Oord, Yazhe Li, Igor Babuschkin +19
The recently-developed WaveNet architecture is the current state of the art in realistic speech synthesis, consistently rated as more natural sounding for many different languages…
Fast, Compact, and High Quality LSTM-RNN Based Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesizers for Mobile Devices
Heiga Zen, Yannis Agiomyrgiannakis, Niels Egberts +2
Acoustic models based on long short-term memory recurrent neural networks (LSTM-RNNs) were applied to statistical parametric speech synthesis (SPSS) and showed significant improvem…
