Modern sequence to sequence neural TTS systems provide close to natural speech quality. Such systems usually comprise a network converting linguistic/phonetic features sequence to an acoustic features sequence, cascaded with a neural…

Text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis is the process of producing synthesized speech from text or phoneme input. Traditional TTS models contain multiple processing steps and require external aligners, which provide attention alignments of…

With the emergence of neural audio codecs, which encode multiple streams of discrete tokens from audio, large language models have recently gained attention as a promising approach for zero-shot Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesis. Despite the…

Recently, sequence-to-sequence (seq-to-seq) models have been successfully applied in text-to-speech (TTS) to synthesize speech for single-language text. To synthesize speech for multiple languages usually requires multi-lingual speech from…

In recent years, speech generation technology has advanced rapidly, fueled by generative models and large-scale training techniques. While these developments have enabled the production of high-quality synthetic speech, they have also…

While modern Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems can produce natural-sounding speech, they remain unable to reproduce the full diversity found in natural speech data. We consider the distribution of all possible real speech samples that could be…

Text-to-speech (TTS) acoustic models map linguistic features into an acoustic representation out of which an audible waveform is generated. The latest and most natural TTS systems build a direct mapping between linguistic and waveform…

Deepfake is content or material that is synthetically generated or manipulated using artificial intelligence (AI) methods, to be passed off as real and can include audio, video, image, and text synthesis. This survey has been conducted with…

The diversity of speaker profiles in multi-speaker TTS systems is a crucial aspect of its performance, as it measures how many different speaker profiles TTS systems could possibly synthesize. However, this important aspect is often…

Real-time voice conversion and speaker anonymization require causal, low-latency synthesis without sacrificing intelligibility or naturalness. Current systems have a core representational mismatch: content is time-varying, while speaker…

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…

We introduce VoiceCraft, a token infilling neural codec language model, that achieves state-of-the-art performance on both speech editing and zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) on audiobooks, internet videos, and podcasts. VoiceCraft employs a…

Advances in AI-generated content have led to wide adoption of large language models, diffusion-based visual generators, and synthetic audio tools. However, these developments raise critical concerns about misinformation, copyright…

In this work, we propose a speaker anonymization pipeline that leverages high quality automatic speech recognition and synthesis systems to generate speech conditioned on phonetic transcriptions and anonymized speaker embeddings. Using…

The proliferation of highly realistic singing voice deepfakes presents a significant challenge to protecting artist likeness and content authenticity. Automatic singer identification in vocal deepfakes is a promising avenue for artists and…

Existing Voice Cloning (VC) tasks aim to convert a paragraph text to a speech with desired voice specified by a reference audio. This has significantly boosted the development of artificial speech applications. However, there also exist…

Recent advances in Text-to-Speech (TTS) have improved quality and naturalness to near-human capabilities when considering isolated sentences. But something which is still lacking in order to achieve human-like communication is the dynamic…

Recent advances in speech synthesis have enabled many useful applications like audio directions in Google Maps, screen readers, and automated content generation on platforms like TikTok. However, these systems are mostly dominated by voices…

Speech deepfakes are artificial voices generated by machine learning models. Previous literature has highlighted deepfakes as one of the biggest security threats arising from progress in artificial intelligence due to their potential for…

Text-to-speech (TTS) methods have shown promising results in voice cloning, but they require a large number of labeled text-speech pairs. Minimally-supervised speech synthesis decouples TTS by combining two types of discrete speech…
