This paper presents the sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) baseline system for the voice conversion challenge (VCC) 2020. We consider a naive approach for voice conversion (VC), which is to first transcribe the input speech with an automatic…

In voice conversion (VC), an approach showing promising results in the latest voice conversion challenge (VCC) 2020 is to first use an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model to transcribe the source speech into the underlying linguistic…

With the development of automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) technique, it's intuitive to construct a voice conversion system by cascading an ASR and TTS system. In this paper, we present a ASR-TTS method…

This paper presents our systems (denoted as T13) for the singing voice conversion challenge (SVCC) 2023. For both in-domain and cross-domain English singing voice conversion (SVC) tasks (Task 1 and Task 2), we adopt a recognition-synthesis…

This paper presents the description of our submitted system for Voice Conversion Challenge (VCC) 2020 with vector-quantization variational autoencoder (VQ-VAE) with WaveNet as the decoder, i.e., VQ-VAE-WaveNet. VQ-VAE-WaveNet is a…

In this paper, we present the voice conversion (VC) systems developed at Nagoya University (NU) for the Voice Conversion Challenge 2020 (VCC2020). We aim to determine the effectiveness of two recent significant technologies in VC:…

This paper presents a novel framework to build a voice conversion (VC) system by learning from a text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis system, that is called TTS-VC transfer learning. We first develop a multi-speaker speech synthesis system with…

Voice conversion (VC) is a task to transform a person's voice to different style while conserving linguistic contents. Previous state-of-the-art on VC is based on sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) model, which could mislead linguistic…

The voice conversion challenge is a bi-annual scientific event held to compare and understand different voice conversion (VC) systems built on a common dataset. In 2020, we organized the third edition of the challenge and constructed and…

We investigated the training of a shared model for both text-to-speech (TTS) and voice conversion (VC) tasks. We propose using an extended model architecture of Tacotron, that is a multi-source sequence-to-sequence model with a dual…

We introduce a novel sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) voice conversion (VC) model based on the Transformer architecture with text-to-speech (TTS) pretraining. Seq2seq VC models are attractive owing to their ability to convert prosody. While…

This paper introduces the T23 team's system submitted to the Singing Voice Conversion Challenge 2023. Following the recognition-synthesis framework, our singing conversion model is based on VITS, incorporating four key modules: a prior…

This report describes the submission from Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) to the VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge (VoxSRC-20) at Interspeech 2020. The final submission is a combination of three systems. System-1 is an…

International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) has been widely used in cross-lingual text-to-speech (TTS) to achieve cross-lingual voice cloning (CL VC). However, IPA itself has been understudied in cross-lingual TTS. In this paper, we report some…

We present the latest iteration of the voice conversion challenge (VCC) series, a bi-annual scientific event aiming to compare and understand different voice conversion (VC) systems based on a common dataset. This year we shifted our focus…

We present a fully convolutional wav-to-wav network for converting between speakers' voices, without relying on text. Our network is based on an encoder-decoder architecture, where the encoder is pre-trained for the task of Automatic Speech…

In this paper, we present the XMUSPEECH system for Task 1 of 2020 Personalized Voice Trigger Challenge (PVTC2020). Task 1 is a joint wake-up word detection with speaker verification on close talking data. The whole system consists of a…

This paper describes speaker verification (SV) systems submitted by the SpeakIn team to the Task 1 and Task 2 of the Far-Field Speaker Verification Challenge 2022 (FFSVC2022). SV tasks of the challenge focus on the problem of fully…

The Voice Conversion Challenge 2020 is the third edition under its flagship that promotes intra-lingual semiparallel and cross-lingual voice conversion (VC). While the primary evaluation of the challenge submissions was done through…

We report our NTU-AISG Text-to-speech (TTS) entry systems for the Blizzard Challenge 2020 in this paper. There are two TTS tasks in this year's challenge, one is a Mandarin TTS task, the other is a Shanghai dialect TTS task. We have…
