description Intonations play an important role in delivering the intention of a speaker. However, current end-to-end TTS systems often fail to model proper intonations. To alleviate this problem, we propose a novel, intuitive method to synthesize speech in different intonations using predefined intonation templates. Prior to TTS model training, speech data are grouped into intonation templates in an unsupervised manner. Two proposed modules are added to the end-to-end TTS framework: an intonation predictor and an intonation encoder. The intonation predictor recommends a suitable intonation template to the given text. The intonation encoder, attached to the text encoder output, synthesizes speech abiding the requested intonation template. Main contributions of our paper are: (a) an easy-to-use intonation control system covering a wide range of users; (b) better performance in wrapping speech in a requested intonation with improved objective and subjective evaluation; and (c) incorporating a pre-trained language model for intonation modelling. Audio samples are available at https://srtts.github.io/IntoTTS.
