According to reports, in this project, researchers used a variety of artificial intelligence technologies such as machine learning, automatic text selection, and natural speech synthesis to successfully realize the entire process of automatically converting e-books into speech

IT Home learned from the inquiry that the project team first developed an algorithm that can automatically analyze the structure of e-books, distinguish the main text and non-key parts of page numbers, tables, etc., and then use WaveNet, Tacotron and FastSpeech to convert text Speech technology generates natural reading speech similar to that of a real person. In addition, the team also enabled the system to identify the narrator, dialogue and different characters in the book, and adjust the voice accordingly to achieve the voice expression of the storyline.

Microsoft said that they have collected and sorted out more than 35,000 hours of audiobook voice data, including various classic literature, dramas, biographies and other works. This voice data will be freely available as an open source. Users can also use a small amount of their own recorded voice to generate the effect of "reading the entire book in their own voice." This project enriches the audiobook content of the website and also provides convenience for the visually impaired
