Abstract
A method, computer program, and computer system is provided for synthesizing speech at one or more speeds. A context associated with one or more phonemes corresponding to a speaking voice is encoded, and the one or more phonemes are aligned to one or more target acoustic frames based on the encoded context. One or more mel-spectrogram features are recursively generated from the aligned phonemes and target acoustic frames, and a voice sample corresponding to the speaking voice is synthesized using the generated mel-spectrogram features.
