Emotion Text To Speech

[Smacka Shock]

Findingemotions in text is an area of research with wide-ranging applications. We describe an emotion annotation task of identifying emotion category, emotion intensity and the words/phrases that indicate emotion in text. We introduce the annotation scheme and present results of an annotation agreement study on a corpus of blog posts. The average inter-annotator agreement on labeling a sentence as emotion or non-emotion was 0.76. The agreement on emotion categories was in the range 0.6 to 0.79; for emotion indicators, it was 0.66. Preliminary results of emotion classification experiments show the accuracy of 73.89%, significantly above the baseline.

We believe in a future where all content creation will be generated by AI but guided by humans, and the most creative work will depend on the human ability to articulate their desired creation to the model.

However, despite these achievements, current TTS systems usually demand high quality studio-recorded annotated audio from different speakers with different styles and emotions in order to fulfill the needs for commercial applications.

Our approach moves beyond the current technology by introducing a novel TTS method which is able to synthesize speech with a higher degree of realism, making it basically undistinguishable from natural speech as spoken by humans.

Unlike most standard Speech Synthesis ML models and Text to Speech APIs that are designed to trade quality and expressiveness for compute, Peregrine was designed from the ground up to generate the most expressive and emotional speech and imitate a human voice vividly.

Aside from the great improvement on naturalness, voice cloning can be done with less than 30 seconds of recorded audio from a single speaker without the need of transcripts, bringing the multi-speaker, multi-style capability of TTS based applications to another level of performance.

And because it is a Large Language Model, it has the ability to compress 100s of thousands of voices in a few GBs of knowledge that can then generate an infinite number of voice variations, emotions, and styles.

And yeah, on top of that, it looks like they come with a "hard-coded" voice templates, therefore shortening the variety/customization. Some tools allow you to set the reading speed and pitch', but that's not enough.

My guess about the problem behind the emotional aspect - it's hard to judge emotions from plain text, even more if it's just a sentence or two. Plus, the good ol' PC is a machine - machines don't have emotions, but that's a different story.

The thing that bothers me the most, is, quality. For example, there are these tools out there, that use to cut off apex of words, resulting in these techy voices. Feels like there's a problem with sentence construction or something. And yes, while people are working on such tools, I wonder, what keeps them from working a little more to improve those... cutting off the apex, that's not a small deal! Plus, have to keep in mind, that a good, quality Text-to-Speech software is worth, well... A LOT! Therefore resulting in a pretty profitable product.

- Loquendo : lacks voice variety, got some minor apex/fluency problems (depends on sentence), too much coughing and excuses in examples!

- Nuance Vocalizer : while still lacks variety, some of the provided voices are worthy.

I don't know if you're looking for an open solution, but if you have a Mac, you should check out OS X advanced speech markup and the "Repeat After Me" phrase building tool. It's really powerful. The Alex voice built into Mac OS X 10.5 and later is more advanced than the other voices.

The TTS used by Google Translate is quite good for short phrases, though likely to produce an unnatural intonation contour for anything complicated. Still, at the word level, it's impressive.There is a small code example here

And there's Ivona - They might make a slightly more articulation errors than e.g. Google Translate, but they do somewhat better on rhythm and intonation. Check out their 'Raveena' voice, it's one of their best yet.

I know that this is an old question, but I just saw the demo of "Watson" from IBM, it's pretty impressive!! They have support for several languages, you can control tone, pauses, intonation and some other variables.

With recent advances in synthetic speech technology, it is now possible to express emotions like happiness, anger, sorrow, empathy, excitement, and many more in text to speech voices. According to a report published by Voices in 2017, a significant 77% of the spends on voice over jobs was allocated to entertainment and advertising industries, which require advanced capabilities to effectively portray emotions through voice.

Recognizing the need for providing artificial voices that are more lifelike, modern TTS systems today focus on delivering text to speech with emotions using complex algorithms backed by artificial intelligence and natural language processing. It enables them to deliver lifelike text to speech that closely resembles human speech and makes listening to the output more engaging and realistic.

This technique is one of the most recent or advanced methodologies for training speech models with emotional data. It uses deep neural networks (DNNs) at the core and is generally trained on custom recorded speech and corresponding script data in a labeled fashion. While these models understand contextual emotions to some extent, researchers have also experimented with training them on text data containing emotion labels.
