Position-based text-to-speech model

Abstract

Position-based text-to-speech model and training techniques are described. A digital document, for instance, is received by an audio synthesis service. A text-to-speech model is utilized by the audio synthesis service to generate digital audio from text included in the digital document. The text-to-speech model, for instance, is configured to generate a text encoding and a document positional encoding from an initial text sequence of the digital document. The document positional encoding is based on a location of the text encoding within the digital document. Digital audio is then generated by the text-to-speech model that includes a spectrogram having a reordered text sequence, which is different from the initial text sequence, by decoding the text encoding and the document positional encoding.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
