LPCNet: DSP-Boosted Neural Speech Synthesis
LPCNet is a new project out of Mozilla’s Emerging Technologies group — an efficient neural speech synthesiser with reduced complexity over some of its predecessors. Neural speech synthesis models have already demonstrated impressive speech synthesis quality, but their computational complexity has made them hard to use in real-time, especially on phones. Our solution with LPCNet uses a combination of deep learning and digital signal processing (DSP) techniques.

HTML5 audio and audio sprites – this should be simple
As we’re having a HTML5 Audio developer derby this month, I thought it fun to play with audio again. And I found it sadly enough pretty frustrating. One thing I proposed in a lot of talks is using the idea of CSS sprites and apply them to HTML5 audio. You’ll get the same benefits – […]
