CHiVE: Varying Prosody in Speech Synthesis with a Linguistically Driven Dynamic Hierarchical Conditional Variational Network

no code implementations17 May 2019 Vincent Wan, Chun-an Chan, Tom Kenter, Jakub Vit, Rob Clark

The prosodic aspects of speech signals produced by current text-to-speech systems are typically averaged over training material, and as such lack the variety and liveliness found in natural speech.

Towards End-to-End Prosody Transfer for Expressive Speech Synthesis with Tacotron

2 code implementations ICML 2018 RJ Skerry-Ryan, Eric Battenberg, Ying Xiao, Yuxuan Wang, Daisy Stanton, Joel Shor, Ron J. Weiss, Rob Clark, Rif A. Saurous

We present an extension to the Tacotron speech synthesis architecture that learns a latent embedding space of prosody, derived from a reference acoustic representation containing the desired prosody.
