Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for audio-visual speech separation. A method includes: receiving, by a user device, a first indication of one or more first speakers visible in a current view recorded by a camera of the user device, in response, generating a respective isolated speech signal for each of the one or more first speakers that isolates speech of the first speaker in the current view and sending the isolated speech signals for each of the one or more first speakers to a listening device operatively coupled to the user device, receiving, by the user device, a second indication of one or more second speakers visible in the current view recorded by the camera of the user device, and in response generating and sending a respective isolated speech signal for each of the one or more second speakers to the listening device.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for audio-visual speech separation. A method includes: obtaining, for each frame in a stream of frames from a video in which faces of one or more speakers have been detected, a respective per-frame face embedding of the face of each speaker; processing, for each speaker, the per-frame face embeddings of the face of the speaker to generate visual features for the face of the speaker; obtaining a spectrogram of an audio soundtrack for the video; processing the spectrogram to generate an audio embedding for the audio soundtrack; combining the visual features for the one or more speakers and the audio embedding for the audio soundtrack to generate an audio-visual embedding for the video; determining a respective spectrogram mask for each of the one or more speakers; and determining a respective isolated speech spectrogram for each speaker.
