A neural end-to-end system is provided for the face and voice preserving translation of videos. The system is a pipeline of multiple models that produces a video of the original speaker speaking in the target language with modified lip movement to match the target speech, while preserving emphases and prosody of the original speech, and voice characteristics of the original speaker. The pipeline starts with automatic speech recognition including emphasis detection, followed by the translation model. The translated text is then synthesized by a Text-to-Speech model that recreates the original emphases in the target sentence. The resulting synthetic speech is then converted back to the original speakers' voice using a voice conversion model. Finally, to synchronize the lips of the speaker with the translated audio, a generative model generates frames of adapted lip movements which are combined with the audio to produce the final output. The disclosure further describes several use-cases and configurations that apply these techniques to video conferencing, dubbing, low-bandwidth transmission, speech enhancement and assistive technology for the hearing impaired.
