With advancements and improved accessibility of AI, this becomes more of a reality... This session will explore how to use Azure Custom Neural Voice to create a synthesised version of our own voice for use in a range of fun and practical applications – telephony, voice overs, or even attending meetings on your behalf...! We'll cover the basics of training and tweaking a model of our own voice, with minimal code, that can be used to turn text into natural-sounding speech. Advancing further, we'll learn some ways to train our model with enhanced training data. As an example we'll take a larger amount of audio, such as a podcast, use widely available tools and APIs to identify the individual speakers and the words being spoken – including highly technical language – to feed into our model. You will leave with the knowledge and inspiration to give "cloning" your voice a try!
