卢帕尔·帕特尔: 和指纹一样独特的合成声音

和指纹一样独特的合成声音

很多有着严重言语障碍的人都用一个电脑化的设备进行交流。但是，他们的声音选择却非常有限。这就是为什么史蒂芬·霍金教授有美国口音，为什么很多人有着同样的声音，不符合他们身份的声音。语音学家卢帕尔·帕特尔想对此做点什么。在这个很棒的演讲中，她跟我们分享了她如何为那些没有声音的人打造独特的声音的过程。

Millions worldwide rely on computerized voices that sound generic, often mismatched to their age, size, or personality. One striking moment showed a little girl and a grown man speaking with identical voices from different devices. By combining a person’s unique vocal qualities with donated speech, technology can create truly personalized synthetic voices. Empowering people to sound like themselves restores dignity and self-expression to those previously voiceless.

Synthetic Voices Should Reflect Every Individual’s Identity
