Abstract
Audio data from a first, source speaker is received and processed to determine linguistic units and vocal characteristics corresponding to those linguistic units. The linguistic units may either be determined from received text data or may be determined from the audio data using automatic speech recognition. A model is trained using training data from a second, target speaker. The trained model concatenates the linguistic units with the vocal characteristics to produce output speech that has the 'voice' of the target speaker and the vocal characteristics of the source speaker.
