This paper presents a novel design of neural network system for fine-grained style modeling, transfer and prediction in expressive text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis. Fine-grained modeling is realized by extracting style embeddings from the…
Cross-lingual timbre and style generalizable text-to-speech (TTS) aims to synthesize speech with a specific reference timbre or style that is never trained in the target language. It encounters the following challenges: 1) timbre and…
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)…
Current emotional Text-To-Speech (TTS) and style transfer methods rely on reference encoders to control global style or emotion vectors, but do not capture nuanced acoustic details of the reference speech. To this end, we propose a novel…
Cross-speaker style transfer is crucial to the applications of multi-style and expressive speech synthesis at scale. It does not require the target speakers to be experts in expressing all styles and to collect corresponding recordings for…
In recent years, there has been significant progress in Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesis technology, enabling the high-quality synthesis of voices in common scenarios. In unseen situations, adaptive TTS requires a strong generalization…
In the existing cross-speaker style transfer task, a source speaker with multi-style recordings is necessary to provide the style for a target speaker. However, it is hard for one speaker to express all expected styles. In this paper, a…
In this paper, we study the disentanglement of speaker and language representations in non-autoregressive cross-lingual TTS models from various aspects. We propose a phoneme length regulator that solves the length mismatch problem between…
This paper aims to build a multi-speaker expressive TTS system, synthesizing a target speaker's speech with multiple styles and emotions. To this end, we propose a novel contrastive learning-based TTS approach to transfer style and emotion…
Recent advances in zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) have enabled accurate imitation of reference speech in terms of both speaking style and speaker timbre. However, achieving disentangled control over these aspects from separate references…
In this study, we define the identity of the singer with two independent concepts - timbre and singing style - and propose a multi-singer singing synthesis system that can model them separately. To this end, we extend our single-singer…
When the available data of a target speaker is insufficient to train a high quality speaker-dependent neural text-to-speech (TTS) system, we can combine data from multiple speakers and train a multi-speaker TTS model instead. Many studies…
Text-to-speech systems recently achieved almost indistinguishable quality from human speech. However, the prosody of those systems is generally flatter than natural speech, producing samples with low expressiveness. Disentanglement of…
Recently, end-to-end multi-speaker text-to-speech (TTS) systems gain success in the situation where a lot of high-quality speech plus their corresponding transcriptions are available. However, laborious paired data collection processes…
Text-to-Speech (TTS) has recently seen great progress in synthesizing high-quality speech owing to the rapid development of parallel TTS systems, but producing speech with naturalistic prosodic variations, speaking styles and emotional…
This paper aims to synthesize the target speaker's speech with desired speaking style and emotion by transferring the style and emotion from reference speech recorded by other speakers. We address this challenging problem with a two-stage…
Controllable text-to-speech (TTS) systems face significant challenges in achieving independent manipulation of speaker timbre and speaking style, often suffering from entanglement between these attributes. We present DMP-TTS, a latent…
Neural Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems find broad applications in voice assistants, e-learning, and audiobook creation. The pursuit of modern models, like Diffusion Models (DMs), holds promise for achieving high-fidelity, real-time speech…
Recent advancements in Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems have enabled the generation of natural and expressive speech from textual input. Accented TTS aims to enhance user experience by making the synthesized speech more relatable to minority…
