I've always wondered if there is something like this for the voice of Majel Barrett-Roddenberry (Computer). I know her voice was recorder phonetically before she died (https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-voice-of-star-treks-computers-could-be-coming-to-bo-1786251988 https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-voice-of-star-treks-computers-co...), but I don't think there's public access to that.
Perhaps transfer learning could be used to copy the style, using something like SV2TTS.
- dsteinman 7y agoAs far as I know they have not released those phonetic recordings. But even without those recordings it might be possible to use those deepfake voice fingerprinting systems to build an STT engine from sound clips from the show.

- monocasa 7y agoI've been looking into that too. Where I'm at now: there's an audio book she recorded, which is on the edge of being a large enough corpus for a third party to generate a model. I haven't listened to it yet though, so I don't know of it's in the right flat intonation to be easily usable.
