Title: The Innovations of Jedrzej Sobanski
Introduction
Jedrzej Sobanski is a notable inventor based in Gdansk, Poland. He has made significant contributions to the field of synthesized speech technology. His work focuses on enhancing the quality and engagement of text-to-speech systems.
Latest Patents
Jedrzej Sobanski holds a patent for a system titled "Emphasizing portions of synthesized speech." This innovative neural text-to-speech system is designed to emphasize specific words, thereby improving the prosodic characteristics of human speech. By applying emphasis where appropriate, the system enhances the understandability and engagement of synthesized speech. The emphasis can be manually annotated or predicted from a source text, such as a book. The system may utilize a generative model, like a variational autoencoder, to create word acoustic embeddings that indicate how emphasis should be reflected in the synthesized speech. Additionally, a phoneme encoder processes phonemes to generate phoneme embeddings, while a decoder processes both the word acoustic embeddings and phoneme embeddings to produce spectrogram data representing the synthesized speech.
