EA Working On Player-Voiced Characters In Games

Electronic Arts’ 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 player’s voice for the 
in-game character.

This technology can generate speech audio in the player’s voice, allowing the 
character to speak with the player’s 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 
“Generating speech in the voice of a player of a video game,” 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.
