TEXT-TO-SPEECH PROCESSING USING PREVIOUSLY SPEECH PROCESSED DATA

Systems, methods, and devices for generating text-to-speech output using previously captured speech are described. Spoken audio is obtained and undergoes speech processing to create text. The resulting text is stored with the spoken audio, with both the text and the spoken audio being associated with the individual that spoke the audio. Various spoken audio and corresponding text are stored over time to create a library of speech units. When the individual sends a text message to a recipient, the text message is processed to determine portions of text, and the portions of text are compared to the library of text associated with the individual. When text in the library is identified, the system selects the spoken audio units associated with the identified stored text. The selected spoken audio units are then used to generate output audio data corresponding to the original text message, with the output audio data being sent to a device of the message recipient.
