ICE-Talk: an Interface for a Controllable Expressive Talking Machine

This tool addresses the need for accessible and controllable TTS systems for researchers and developers in speech synthesis and human-computer interaction, though it is incremental as it builds on existing TTS methods.

The authors introduced ICE-Talk, an open-source web-based GUI that enables controllable text-to-speech synthesis with adjustable parameters via a text field and a 2D plot, facilitating the study of latent spaces for TTS and integration into human-agent interactions.
