Abstract
A device may receive data indicative of a plurality of speech sounds associated with first voice characteristics of a first voice. The device may receive an input indicative of speech associated with second voice characteristics of a second voice. The device may map at least one portion of the speech of the second voice to one or more speech sounds of the plurality of speech sounds of the first voice. The device may compare the first voice characteristics with the second voice characteristics based on the map. The comparison may include vocal tract characteristics, nasal cavity characteristics, and voicing characteristics. The device may determine a given representation configured to associate the first voice characteristics with the second voice characteristics. The device may provide an output indicative of pronunciations of the one or more speech sounds of the first voice according to the second voice characteristics based on the given representation.
