New WYS framework enhances video-to-speech synthesis with textual conditioning

Researchers have developed a new video-to-speech synthesis framework called Watch Your Speech (WYS) to address the challenge of visual ambiguity in generating speech from silent talking-face videos. WYS incorporates textual conditioning as an explicit linguistic cue, integrating textual context with video sequences through an attention-based embedding fusion module. Experiments on the LRS2 and LRS3 datasets show that WYS achieves state-of-the-art results in audio-visual synchronization and maintains competitive textual accuracy, producing speech with near-human naturalness. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and natural-sounding speech generation from video, with potential applications in content creation and accessibility.

    Watch Your Speech: Text-aware Video-to-Speech Synthesis with Textual Conditioning

    arXiv:2610.01012v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video-to-speech synthesis aims to generate natural-sounding speech from silent talking-face videos while ensuring phonetic accuracy. A fundamental challenge in this task is the inherent one-to-many mapping problem, where visual dyna…
