FastSpeech: Paper Overview & Implementation

Learn about text-to-speech and how it’s realized by transformers

In 2019, FastSpeech has pushed the frontier of neural text-to-speech by offering significant improvement in inference speed while maintaining robustness to prevent word repetition or omission. It also allowed for controllability of the output speech in terms of speech and prosody.

In this story, we aim to familiarize you with how transformers are employed for text-to-speech, provide you with a concise overview of the FastSpeech paper and point you to how …
