From ResetEra:

  • Electronic Arts’ newly issued patent aims to enable players to make their in-game characters communicate using their own voices.
  • The patent outlines a system that involves inputting speech content data into a synthesizer module, which generates source acoustic features representing the desired voice or style.
  • The heart of the patent is a voice converter, which uses an acoustic feature encoder to meld the source acoustic characteristics with a target speaker embedding associated with the player, replicating the player’s voice for the in-game character.

A computer-implemented method of generating speech audio in a video game is provided. The method includes inputting, into a synthesizer module, input data that represents speech content. Source acoustic features for the speech content in the voice of a source speaker are generated and are input, along with a speaker embedding associated with a player of the video game into an acoustic feature encoder of a voice convertor.

I wouldn’t like to hear myself in a game lol.
