How to Change your Accent
Blog post from Rime
Rime has developed a groundbreaking technology that allows for the swapping of a speaker's original accent with a different one, while maintaining the unique timbre of the individual, a challenging feat in generative speech synthesis. The timbre, influenced by the shape of a person’s vocal tract, and the accent, shaped by phonological rules and sound inventory, are normally intertwined in speech. By analyzing elements like pitch and the fourth formant, Rime can measure and compare these features across different accents, as demonstrated with a speaker's voice being transformed from a Californian to a Texan accent with minimal change in timbre. This innovation holds potential applications in areas such as programmatic advertising and call automation, and Rime continues to explore these possibilities with updates shared on their blog.
