Abstract
Devices and techniques are generally described for learned condition text-to-speech synthesis. In some examples, first data representing a selection of a type of prosodic expressivity may be received. In some further examples, a selection of content comprising text data may be received. First audio data may be determined that includes an audio representation of the text data. The first audio data may be generated based at least in part on sampling from a first latent distribution generated using a conditional primary variational autoencoder (VAE). The sampling from the first latent distribution may be conditioned on a first learned distribution associated with the type of prosodic expressivity. In various examples, the first audio data may be sent to a first computing device.
