- Abstract: This research paper presents a comprehensive review-based study on various
Text-to-Speech (TTS) technologies. TTS technology is an important aspect of
human-computer interaction, enabling machines to convert written text into
audible speech. The paper examines the different TTS technologies available,
including concatenative TTS, formant synthesis TTS, and statistical parametric
TTS. The study focuses on comparing the advantages and limitations of these
technologies in terms of their naturalness of voice, the level of complexity of
the system, and their suitability for different applications. In addition, the
paper explores the latest advancements in TTS technology, including neural TTS
and hybrid TTS. The findings of this research will provide valuable insights
for researchers, developers, and users who want to understand the different TTS
technologies and their suitability for specific applications.

We compare five different TTS decoder architectures in the scope of synthetic data generation to show the impact on CTC-based speech recognition training.
For data generation auto-regressive decoding performs better than non-autoregressive decoding, and propose an approach to quantify TTS generalization capabilities.

Text style transfer (TST) aims to control selected attributes of language use, such as politeness, formality, or sentiment, without altering the style-independent content of the text.
This paper presents a comprehensive review of TST applications that have been researched over the years, using both traditional linguistic approaches and more recent deep learning methods.

Multimodal Emotional Text-to-Speech System (MM-TTS) is a unified framework that leverages emotional cues from multiple modalities to generate highly expressive and emotionally resonant speech.
MM-TTS consists of two key components: the Emotion Prompt Alignment Module (EP-Align), which employs contrastive learning to align emotional features across text, audio, and visual modalities, and the Emotion Embedding-Induced TTS (EMI-TTS), which integrates the aligned emotional embeddings with state-of-the-art TTS models to synthesize speech that accurately reflects the intended emotions.

Research on text-to-image generation (TTI) still predominantly focuses on the English language.
In this work, we thus investigate multilingual TTI and the current potential of neural machine translation (NMT) to bootstrap mTTI systems.
We propose Ensemble Adapter (EnsAd), a novel parameter-efficient approach that learns to weigh and consolidate the multilingual text knowledge within the mTTI framework.
