By Huzaifa Khan November 14, 2023 4 min https://www.veryaligaming.com/ea-player-voiced-characters-games/ EA Working On Player-Voiced Characters In Games Electronic Artsâ newly issued patent aims to enable players to make their in-game characters communicate using their own voices. The patent outlines a system that involves inputting speech content data into a synthesiser module, which generates source acoustic features representing the desired voice or style. The heart of the patent is a voice converter, which uses an acoustic feature encoder to meld the source acoustic characteristics with a target speaker embedding associated with the player, replicating the playerâs voice for the in-game character. This technology can generate speech audio in the playerâs voice, allowing the character to speak with the playerâs unique, personal voice, and it can even capture non-verbal elements of speech like tone, emotions, and emphasis. The input data for this system can take the form of text, allowing players to type the dialogue they want their character to deliver, making it a more practical and versatile approach compared to traditional methods that require extensive recorded speech data. Today, we encountered a newly issued patent by Electronic Arts titled âGenerating speech in the voice of a player of a video game,â which was submitted in October 2020. This patent, made public earlier this month, outlines a technology for producing speech audio within a video game, enabling players to make their in-game characters communicate using their own voices. == _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
