Abstract
A speech synthesis method performed by an electronic apparatus to synthesize speech from text and includes: obtaining text input to the electronic apparatus; obtaining a text representation by encoding the text using a text encoder of the electronic apparatus; obtaining an audio representation of a first audio frame set from an audio encoder of the electronic apparatus, based on the text representation; obtaining an audio representation of a second audio frame set based on the text representation and the audio representation of the first audio frame set; obtaining an audio feature of the second audio frame set by decoding the audio representation of the second audio frame set; and synthesizing speech based on an audio feature of the first audio frame set and the audio feature of the second audio frame set.
