… synthesize speaker-specific speech waveforms by conditioning on videos of an individual’s face.

… method directly converts face images into speech waveforms under an end-to-end training framework.

The linguistic features are extracted from lip movements using a lip-reading model, and the speaker characteristic features are predicted from face images using cross-modal learning with a pre-trained acoustic model.

… can flexibly synthesize speech waveforms whose speaker characteristics vary depending on the input face images.

Therefore, our method can be regarded as a multi-speaker face-to-speech waveform model.

We show the superiority of our proposed model over conventional methods in terms of both objective and subjective evaluation results. …
