An electronic apparatus includes an inner microphone provided on a first surface of the electronic apparatus; an outer microphone disposed on a second surface opposite the first surface; and a processor configured to: receive a voice signal of a counterpart and a voice signal of a wearer of the electronic apparatus that are input through the inner microphone and the outer microphone, based on a size of the voice signal of the wearer input through the inner microphone being greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, remove the voice signal of the wearer input through the outer microphone based on the voice signal of the wearer input through the inner microphone, and amplify the voice signal of the counterpart input through the outer microphone and from which the voice signal of the wearer is removed and output the amplified voice signal, wherein the size of the voice signal of the wearer input through the inner microphone is greater than a size of the voice signal of the wearer input through the outer microphone.

Electronic apparatus and control method thereof

An electronic apparatus which acquires input data to be input into a TTS module for outputting a voice through the TTS module, acquires a voice signal corresponding to the input data through the TTS module, detects an error in the acquired voice signal based on the input data, corrects the input data based on the detection result, and acquires a corrected voice signal corresponding to the corrected input data through the TTS module.

Electronic apparatus and method for controlling thereof

An electronic apparatus, based on a text sentence being input, obtains prosody information of the text sentence, segments the text sentence into a plurality of sentence elements, obtains a speech in which prosody information is reflected to each of the plurality of sentence elements in parallel by inputting the plurality of sentence elements and the prosody information of the text sentence to a text to speech (TTS) module, and merges the speech for the plurality of sentence elements that are obtained in parallel to output speech for the text sentence.

An electronic device for providing a text-to-speech (TTS) service and an operating method therefor are provided. The operating method of the electronic device includes obtaining target voice data based on an utterance input of a specific speaker, determining a number of learning steps of the target voice data, based on data features including a data amount of the target voice data, generating a target model by training a pre-trained model pre-trained to convert text into an audio signal, by using the target voice data as training data, based on the determined number of learning steps, generating output data obtained by converting input text into an audio signal, by using the generated target model, and outputting the generated output data.

Electronic device and operating method thereof

An electronic apparatus and a controlling method thereof are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a microphone; a memory configured to store a text-to-speech (TTS) model and a plurality of evaluation texts; and a processor configured to: obtain a first reference vector of a user speech spoken by a user based the user speech being received through the microphone, generate a plurality of candidate reference vectors based on the first reference vector, obtain a plurality of synthesized sounds by inputting the plurality of candidate reference vectors and the plurality of evaluation texts to the TTS model, identify at least one synthesized sound of the plurality of synthesized sounds based on a similarity between characteristics of the plurality of synthesized sounds and the user speech, and store a second reference vector of the at least one synthesized sound in the memory as a reference vector corresponding to the user for the TTS model.

Electronic apparatus and controlling method thereof

A speech synthesis method performed by an electronic apparatus to synthesize speech from text and includes: obtaining text input to the electronic apparatus; obtaining a text representation by encoding the text using a text encoder of the electronic apparatus; obtaining an audio representation of a first audio frame set from an audio encoder of the electronic apparatus, based on the text representation; obtaining an audio representation of a second audio frame set based on the text representation and the audio representation of the first audio frame set; obtaining an audio feature of the second audio frame set by decoding the audio representation of the second audio frame set; and synthesizing speech based on an audio feature of the first audio frame set and the audio feature of the second audio frame set.

Speech synthesis method and apparatus

An electronic device and a controlling method of the electronic device are provided. The electronic device acquires text to respond on a received user's speech, acquires a plurality of pieces of parameter information for determining a style of an output speech corresponding to the text based on information on a type of a plurality of text-to-speech (TTS) databases and the received user's speech, identifies a TTS database corresponding to the plurality of pieces of parameter information among the plurality of TTS databases, identifies a weight set corresponding to the plurality of pieces of parameter information among a plurality of weight sets acquired through a trained artificial intelligence model, adjusts information on the output speech stored in the TTS database based on the weight set, synthesizes the output speech based on the adjusted information on the output speech, and outputs the output speech corresponding to the text.
