Artificial intelligence empowered voice generation for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients by Stefano Regondi, Giordana Donvito, Emanuele Frontoni, Milutin Kostovic, Fabio Minazzi, Sébastien Bratières, Massimiliano Filosto, Raffaele Pugliese

“…The AI-generated patient-specific voice is achieved through voice recording, followed by fine-tuning using a Generative Adversarial Network for Efficient and High Fidelity Speech Synthesis (HiFi-GAN), resulting in a model capable of producing speech highly similar to the patient’s own voice, with exceptional expressive and audio quality. By addressing these aspects, this study intends to offer valuable insights into the potential benefits and challenges of combining VB with AI voices to enhance communication support for ALS patients.…”
