Abstract
A speech-processing system receives input data corresponding to one or more characteristics of speech. The system determines parameters representing the characteristics and, using the parameters, encoded values corresponding to the characteristics. A speech synthesis component of the speech-processing processes the encoded values to determine audio data including a representation of the speech and corresponding to the characteristics.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for generating speech, the method comprising:
- causing a display of a user device to output a user interface comprising at least one element corresponding to a characteristic of the speech;
- receiving a first user input corresponding to selection of the at least one element;
- determining, using the first user input, a first value representing the characteristic;
- determining image data representing the first value;
- causing the display to output the image data;
- after causing the display to output the image data, determining a second user input corresponding to selection of the at least one element;
- determining, using the second user input, a second value representing the characteristic;
- determining a region in an embedding space corresponding to the characteristic;
- determining a relative position of the second value with respect to a range of values;
- determining, using the relative position, encoded data representing a point in the region;
- processing, using a speech-synthesis component, the encoded data and first data representing a phrase to determine audio data representing the phrase and corresponding to the characteristic;
- and
- causing output, by the user device, of audio corresponding to the audio data.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- causing a user device to display a user interface comprising at least one element corresponding to a characteristic of speech;
- determining a user input corresponding to the at least one element;
- determining, using the user input, a first value representing the characteristic;
- determining, using the first value, encoded data representing a point in an embedding space corresponding to the characteristic;
- processing, using a speech-synthesis component, the encoded data and first data representing a phrase to determine audio data representing the phrase and corresponding to the characteristic;
- and
- causing output, by the user device, of audio corresponding to the audio data.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
- cause a user device to display a user interface comprising at least one element corresponding to a characteristic of speech;
- determine a user input corresponding to the at least one element;
- determine, using the user input, a first value representing the characteristic;
- determine, using the first value, encoded data representing a point in an embedding space corresponding to the characteristic;
- process, using a speech-synthesis component, the encoded data and first data representing a phrase to determine audio data representing the phrase and corresponding to the characteristic;
- and
- cause output, by the user device, of audio corresponding to the audio data.
