Method and apparatus for speech synthesis for multilignual and multispeaker

Abstract

A speech synthesis apparatus includes a memory configured to store language information configured by a user and audio samples of a speaker corresponding to speaker information selected by the user. The speech synthesis apparatus also includes a processor configured to generate an audio signal corresponding to input text by applying a speech synthesis model to the input text, the language information, and the audio samples in response to a speech synthesis request of the user. The speech synthesis model is trained to generate an audio signal including features of training text and features of a training audio signal. Language information of the training text and speaker information of the training audio signal are removed from the generated audio signal.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
