Sequence to Sequence Neural Speech Synthesis with Prosody Modification Capabilities

Understand

Modern sequence to sequence neural TTS systems provide close to natural speech quality.

• Such systems usually comprise a network converting linguistic/phonetic features sequence to an acoustic features sequence, cascaded with a neural vocoder.
• The generated speech prosody (i.e.
• phoneme durations, pitch and loudness) is implicitly present in the acoustic features, being mixed with spectral information.
