Abstract
Systems and methods for text-to-speech with novel speakers can obtain text data and output audio data. The input text data may be input along with one or more speaker preferences. The speaker preferences can include speaker characteristics. The speaker preferences can be processed by a machine-learned model conditioned on a learned prior distribution to determine a speaker embedding. The speaker embedding can then be processed with the text data to generate an output that includes audio data descriptive of the text data spoken by a novel speaker.
