Abstract
Discussed is an artificial intelligence (AI)-based voice sampling apparatus for providing a speech style, including a rhyme encoder configured to receive a user's voice, extract a voice sample, and analyze a vocal feature included in the voice sample, a text encoder configured to receive text for reflecting the vocal feature, a processor configured to classify the vocal feature of the voice sample input to the rhyme encoder according to a label, extract an embedding vector representing the vocal feature from the label, and generate a speech style from the embedding vector and apply the generated speech style to the text, and a rhyme decoder configured to output synthesized voice data in which the speech style is applied to the text by the processor.
