露波‧帕特爾: 像指紋一樣獨特的智能聲音

像指紋一樣獨特的智能聲音

大部分患有語言障礙的人都使用一種電腦化的設備來溝通，但是可選擇的聲音卻不多。這也是為甚麼史蒂芬·霍金的聲音是美國口音，而很多人都用著同一個聲音，不符合他們身份的聲音。語言科學家露波‧帕特爾決定改變這一狀況。在這個演講中，她將與大家分享她為“無音人士”創造獨特聲音的過程。

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
