In this work, we propose a joint system combining a talking face generation system with a text-to-speech system that can generate multilingual talking face videos from only the text input. Our system can synthesize natural multilingual…
In recent years, speech generation has seen remarkable progress, now achieving one-shot generation capability that is often virtually indistinguishable from real human voice. Integrating such advancements in speech generation with large…
We present a meta-learning approach for adaptive text-to-speech (TTS) with few data. During training, we learn a multi-speaker model using a shared conditional WaveNet core and independent learned embeddings for each speaker. The aim of…
Recent studies have outlined the accessibility challenges faced by blind or visually impaired, and less-literate people, in interacting with social networks, in-spite of facilitating technologies such as monotone text-to-speech (TTS) screen…
Mindfulness-based therapies have been shown to be effective in improving mental health, and technology-based methods have the potential to expand the accessibility of these therapies. To enable real-time personalized content generation for…
Producing synthetic voice, similar to human-like sound, is an emerging novelty of modern interactive media systems. Text-To-Speech (TTS) systems try to generate synthetic and authentic voices via text input. Besides, well known and familiar…
The recent text-to-speech (TTS) has achieved quality comparable to that of humans; however, its application in spoken dialogue has not been widely studied. This study aims to realize a TTS that closely resembles human dialogue. First, we…
Controllable TTS models with natural language prompts often lack the ability for fine-grained control and face a scarcity of high-quality data. We propose a two-stage style-controllable TTS system with language models, utilizing a quantized…
This paper discusses the task of face-based speech synthesis, a kind of personalized speech synthesis where the synthesized voices are constrained to perceptually match with a reference face image. Due to the lack of TTS-quality…
Speech synthesis technology has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, enabling the creation of natural and expressive synthetic speech. One area of particular interest is the generation of synthetic child speech, which…
Recent advances in Text-To-Speech (TTS) technology have enabled synthetic speech to mimic human voices with remarkable realism, raising significant security concerns. This underscores the need for traceable TTS models-systems capable of…
Talking face generation has gained immense popularity in the computer vision community, with various applications including AR, VR, teleconferencing, digital assistants, and avatars. Traditional methods are mainly audio-driven, which have…
Generating speech across different accents while preserving speaker identity is crucial for various real-world applications. However, accurately and independently modeling both speaker and accent characteristics in text-to-speech (TTS)…
We aim to characterize how different speakers contribute to the perceived output quality of multi-speaker Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesis. We automatically rate the quality of TTS using a neural network (NN) trained on human mean opinion…
Voice design from natural language aims to generate speaker timbres directly from free-form textual descriptions, allowing users to create voices tailored to specific roles, personalities, and emotions. Such controllable voice creation…
Currently, many multi-speaker speech synthesis and voice conversion systems address speaker variations with an embedding vector. Modeling it directly allows new voices outside of training data to be synthesized. GMM based approaches such as…
The trend of scaling up speech generation models poses a threat of biometric information leakage of the identities of the voices in the training data, raising privacy and security concerns. In this paper, we investigate training…
Learning-based Text To Speech systems have the potential to generalize from one speaker to the next and thus require a relatively short sample of any new voice. However, this promise is currently largely unrealized. We present a method that…
Creating realistic and natural-sounding synthetic speech remains a big challenge for voice identities unseen during training. As there is growing interest in synthesizing voices of new speakers, here we investigate the ability of…
Personalized speech enhancement (PSE) models utilize additional cues, such as speaker embeddings like d-vectors, to remove background noise and interfering speech in real-time and thus improve the speech quality of online video conferencing…
