Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for providing emotion-based text to speech. The systems and methods perform operations comprising accessing a text string; storing a plurality of embeddings associated with a plurality of speakers, a first embedding for a first speaker being associated with a first emotion and a second embedding for a second speaker of the plurality of speakers being associated with a second emotion; selecting the first speaker to speak one or more words of the text string; determining that the one or more words are associated with the second emotion; generating, based on the first embedding and the second embedding, a third embedding for the first speaker associated with the second emotion; and applying the third embedding and the text string to a vocoder to generate an audio stream comprising the one or more words being spoken by the first speaker with the second emotion.
