LightSpeed Studios Singapore

Identified Problem

There was a lack of high-quality text-to-speech (TTS) open data sources for game localization. The game developer, LightSpeed Studios, required a TTS system that would allow players to hear commentary, narratives, and other texts, instead of just reading them. The goal was to provide an immersive experience for players, specifically those who speak Bahasa Malay.

AI Solution

A text-to-speech (TTS) service was developed for Malay, which takes Malay text as input and produces clear and accurate speech output. Machine-generated voices were used as training data.

Key Features

• The TTS system takes Malay text as input and produces clear and accurate speech output.
• The system was trained using machine-generated voices.

Benefits of AI Solution

• The TTS system allows for effective localization of games for Bahasa Malay speaking players.
• It provides an immersive experience for players by enabling them to hear game text.
• The project also facilitated the development of local AI talent, with apprentices receiving hands-on training.

Impact of AI Solution

• The project resulted in a successful implementation of a TTS system for Malay.
• The project has laid the foundation for future AI-driven innovation in games.
• There are plans to scale the TTS solution to support more languages, to make games accessible to a wider audience.
