Original Abstract Submitted
in an embodiment, a set of text is received. initial audio content substantially corresponding to a voice of a user, associated with the set of text and generated by a text-to-speech (tts) model that was trained using training data that includes audio of the user, is received. a subset of text from the set of text that is to be recorded by the user is identified, based on analysis of the initial audio content. a signal indicating that the subset of text are to be recorded by the user is sent to cause the second compute device to generate a user recording. a representation of the user recording is received. portions of the initial audio content associated with the subset of text are caused to be updated using the user recording to generate updated audio content.
