Abstract

Disclosed are a method and a terminal for generating simulated voices of virtual teachers. Real voice samples of teachers are collected and converted into text sequences, and a text emotion polarity training set and a text tone training set are constructed according to the text sequences; a lexical item emotion model is constructed based on lexical items in the text sequences and is trained by using the emotion polarity training set, and word vectors, an emotion polarity vector, and a weight parameter are obtained by training; and the similarity between the word vector and the emotion polarity vector is calculated, and emotion features are extracted according to a similarity calculation result, a conditional vocoder is constructed according to the voice styles and emotion features to generate new voices with emotion changes. The method and the terminal contribute to satisfying the application requirements of high-quality virtual teachers.
