EE-TTS: Emphatic Expressive TTS with Linguistic Information
Yi Zhong, Chen Zhang, Xule Liu, Chenxi Sun, Weishan Deng, Haifeng Hu, Zhongqian Sun. [Demo Page]
Contribution:
- EE-TTS can identify appropriate emphasis positions from text and synthesize expressive speech with emphasis and linguistic information.
- This work outperforms baseline with expressiveness-MOS improvements from 3.76 to 4.25 and naturalness-MOS from 3.67 to 4.34.
- EE-TTS helps build AI playmate services for the world’s most-played mobile MOBA game Honor of Kings (DAU 100+ million).
