SPEECH SYNTHESIZING DEVICES AND METHODS FOR MIMICKING VOICES OF PUBLIC FIGURES

Speech synthesizing devices and methods are disclosed for mimicking the voices of public figures. A text-to-speech deep neural network (DNN) can be used to do so, with the DNN being trained using publicly available audio recordings of a given public figure speaking as well as text corresponding to the words that are spoken by the public figure in the audio recordings. The DNN may then be used to produce various audio outputs in the voice of the public figure.
