Title: Voice synthesis system and method for synthesizing voice
Inventor: HONMA TAKESHI
IPC: G10L13/08
Filed: 2021-09-08
Abstract: To easily obtain a voice simulating a feeling of a human in feeling voice synthesis.SOLUTION: A system generates an acoustic feature quantity of a text based upon a feeling parameter and a language feature quantity of the text and stores a voice synthesis model and a conversion model relating an utterance condition to a feeling parameter of a target voice sample. The target voice sample is a voice sample of a target speaker as an object of feeling simulation. The system acquires an input current utterance condition. The system uses the conversion model to generate a current feeling parameter from the current utterance condition. The system uses the voice synthesis model to generate an acoustic feature quantity of a target utterance based upon the current feeling parameter and language feature quantity of the target utterance. The system generates a synthesized voice based upon the acoustic feature quantity.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1A
