Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing speech synthesis using a code-mixed speech engine in a speech synthesis system. A code-mixed speech engine supports generating natural and intelligible speech in a target speaker voice—for code-mixed-text of two or more languages—based on a code-mixed speech model that supports both code-mixing and cross-locale voice transfer scenarios. In operation, code-mixed training data associated with a plurality of different languages is accessed. A code-mixed speech model—associated with a training engine and an inference engine that support generating code-mixed synthesized speech—is generated. The code-mixed speech model is deployed. A request being received for synthesized speech of a speech synthesis service. An instance of code-mixed synthesized speech is generated. The instance of code-mixed synthesized speech is generated using the code-mixed speech model. The instance of code-mixed synthesized speech is communicated for output on an interface associated with the speech synthesis service.
