Abstract
Embodiments of the present systems and methods may provide techniques for synthesizing speech in any voice in any language in any accent. For example, in an embodiment, a text-to-speech conversion system may comprise a text converter adapted to convert input text to at least one phoneme selected from a plurality of phonemes stored in memory, a machine-learning model storing voice patterns for a plurality of individuals and adapted to receive the at least one phoneme and an identity of a speaker and to generate acoustic features for each phoneme, and a decoder adapted to receive the generated acoustic features and to generate a speech signal simulating a voice of the identified speaker in a language.
