Abstract
A method of providing emotive text-to-speech includes obtaining input text characterizing a natural language response generated by an assistant LLM to a query input by a user during a conversation between the user and the assistant LLM, and processing, using the assistant LLM, the input text conditioned on an emotion detection task prompt to predict, as output from the assistant LLM, an emotional state of the natural language response. The method also includes determining, based on the emotional state of the natural language response predicted as output from the assistant LLM, an emotional embedding for the input text and instructing a TTS model to process the input text and the emotional embedding to generate a synthesized speech representation of the natural language response conveying the emotional state of the natural language response as specified by the emotional embedding.
