Abstract
A neural TTS system is trained to generate key acoustic frames at variable rates while omitting other frames. The frame skipping depends on the acoustic features to be generated for the input text. The TTS system can interpolate frames between the key frames at a target rate for a vocoder to synthesis audio samples.
