Speech synthesis has important applications in virtual assistants, voice interfaces, and accessibility. There has been rapid progress in the quality of speech synthesis systems in recent years thanks to deep learning generative models. In recent months, fully end-to-end neural generative approaches achieved for the first time human-level performance on challenging multi-speaker modelling tasks. In this talk, we will take a journey from learning the basics of speech processing to understanding the latest state-of-the-art deep generative synthesis systems that produce speech indistinguishable from human voice
