Abstract

Thanks to the advancements in neural networks there have been many new breakthroughs in human-like speech synthesis over the last couple of years. For Latvian, there have been no new publications about speech synthesis since 2010. The paper describes efforts to apply recent advancements in neural speech synthesis to Latvian using open-source tools.
