TTS-Guided Training for Accent Conversion Without Parallel Data

Abstract: Accent Conversion (AC) seeks to change the accent of speech from one (source) to another (target) while preserving the speech content and speaker identity. However, many existing AC approaches rely on source-target parallel speech data during training or reference speech at run-time. We propose a novel accent conversion framework without the need for either parallel data or reference speech. Specifically, a text-to-speech (TTS) system is first pretrained with target-accented speech data. This TTS model and its… Show more
