Voice Conversion

A speech processing technique that transforms one person's voice to sound like another while preserving the linguistic content. In accessibility applications, voice conversion can improve the intelligibility of speech from people with articulation disorders by replacing unclear phonemes with clearer ones, while critically preserving the speaker's voice identity. Unlike text-to-speech which requires text input, voice conversion works directly on the speech signal, making it suitable for people who have difficulty with text input due to motor impairments.
