Abstract
Computer-implemented methods for speech synthesis are provided. A speech synthesizer may be trained to generate synthesized audio data that corresponds to words uttered by a source speaker according to speech characteristics of a target speaker. The speech synthesizer may be trained by time-stamped phoneme sequences, pitch contour data and speaker identification data. The speech synthesizer may include a voice modeling neural network and a conditioning neural network.
