Abstract: A device may identify a plurality of sources for outputs that the device is configured to provide. The plurality of sources may include at least one of a particular application in the device, an operating system of the device, a particular area within a display of the device, or a particular graphical user interface object. The device may also assign a set of distinct voices to respective sources of the plurality of sources. The device may also receive a request for speech output. The device may also select a particular source that is associated with the requested speech output. The device may also generate speech having particular voice characteristics of a particular voice assigned to the particular source.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating speech from text. One of the systems includes one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions that when executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to implement: a sequence-to-sequence recurrent neural network configured to: receive a sequence of characters in a particular natural language, and process the sequence of characters to generate a spectrogram of a verbal utterance of the sequence of characters in the particular natural language; and a subsystem configured to: receive the sequence of characters in the particular natural language, and provide the sequence of characters as input to the sequence-to-sequence recurrent neural network to obtain as output the spectrogram of the verbal utterance of the sequence of characters in the particular natural language.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for selecting units for speech synthesis. One of the methods includes determining a sequence of text units that each represent a respective portion of text for speech synthesis; and determining multiple paths of speech units that each represent the sequence of text units by selecting a first speech unit that includes speech synthesis data representing a first text unit; selecting multiple second speech units including speech synthesis data representing a second text unit based on (i) a join cost to concatenate the second speech unit with a first speech unit and (ii) a target cost indicating a degree that the second speech unit corresponds to the second text unit; and defining paths from the selected first speech unit to each of the multiple second speech units to include in the multiple paths of speech units.
