Unsupervised Word-Level Prosody Tagging for Controllable Speech Synthesis

2022 · ICASSP 2022 - 2022 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)

Although word-level prosody modeling in neural text-to-speech (TTS) has been investigated in recent research for diverse speech synthesis, it is still challenging to control speech synthesis manually without a specific reference. This is largely due …

StoryTTS: A Highly Expressive Text-to-Speech Dataset with Rich Textual Expressiveness Annotations

2024

While acoustic expressiveness has long been studied in expressive text-to-speech (ETTS), the inherent expressiveness in text lacks sufficient attention, especially for ETTS of artistic works. In this paper, we introduce StoryTTS, a highly ETTS dataset …

CodecSlime: Temporal Redundancy Compression of Neural Speech Codec via Dynamic Frame Rate

2026

Neural speech codecs have been widely used in audio compression and various downstream tasks. Current mainstream codecs are fixed-frame-rate (FFR), which allocate the same number of tokens to every equal-duration slice. However, speech is inherently …
