Mudar Yaghi

A system and method enable one to set a target duration of a desired synthesized utterance without removing or adding spoken content. Without changing the spoken text, the voice characteristics may be kept the same or substantially the same. Silence adjustment and interpolation may be used to alter the duration while preserving speech characteristics. Speech may be translated prior to a vocoder step, pursuant to which the translated speech is constrained by the original audio duration, while mimicking the speech characteristics of the original speech.
