Do you think you are guided by a celebrity in your navigation app? Of course not. The voice you hear in the navigation software was actually synthesized (合成). To find out what’s involved in the process of reproducing human voices, I approached Speech Morphing, a natural language speech synthesis company, about creating a digital double of my own voice.
schedule英语怎么发音Given the complexities of speech synthesis, it’s quite a shock to find out just how easy it is to order one up. For a basic conversational model, all I have to do is record myself saying a few hundreds of phrases for roughly an hour. The phrases seem very random: “That’s what Carnegie did.” “I’d like to be buried under Yan kee Stadium with JFK.” and so on.
But they aren’t as random as they appear. “We choose spoken words that will produce a wide enough variety of sounds across a range of emotions, such as sadness and anger, to feed an AI training system. It then teaches itself the specific patterns of a person’s speech,” says Speech Morphing founder Fathy Yassa.
Yassa says there are around 20 tones to choose from, and some of these can be used inte
rchangeably, or not at all. “Not every tone is needed for every client,” he says. “The choice depends on the target application and use cases. Banking is different from reporting and broadcasting.”
The possibilities for my digital double are limitless. At a training session with Speech Morphing, I get to hear my digital voice double. The voice comes at me through a pair of speakers connected to a laptop. The laptop has software into which whatever text I want it to say is typed. The software includes tools to make adjustments to the tone, speed and other vocal features that might need to be adjusted if my digital double doesn’t come out sounding exactly right.
“We can already make you sound sad. We can also make you act like you’re reporting and broadcasting now,” Yassa says. “We can make you sound like acting in the theatre, eventually, though we’re not yet there. It is too advanced.”

C．The process of data collecting.    D．The complexities of the speech.
188．What is the requirement for the collected voice?
A．It must cover different kinds of daily topics.
B．The sounds can express a wide range of feelings.
C．Every person needs to produce around 20 tones.
D．It has to be collected according to strict guidelines.
189．Which of the following plays a key role in generating a digital double?
A．A typing software.    B．A pair of loudspeakers.
C．A recording machine.    D．An AI training system.
190．Which of the following is true according to the text?
A．Speech synthesis products are easy to order but complicated to create.
B．We must teach the AI training system patterns of people’s speech.
C．The digital double can’t be adjusted once made.
