Towards Multi-Scale Speaking Style Modelling with Hierarchical Context Information for Mandarin Speech Synthesis

2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Previous works on expressive speech synthesis focus on modelling the mono-scale style embedding from the current sentence or context, but the multi-scale nature of speaking style in human speech is neglected. In this paper, we …

Context-aware Coherent Speaking Style Prediction with Hierarchical Transformers for Audiobook Speech Synthesis

2023 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Recent advances in text-to-speech have significantly improved the expressiveness of synthesized speech. However, it is still challenging to generate speech with contextually appropriate and coherent speaking style for multi-sentence text in audiobooks. In this paper, …
