Nativization of foreign names in TTS for automatic reading of world news in Swahili [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
When a text-To-speech (TTS) system is required to speak world news, a large fraction of the words to be spoken will be proper names originating in a wide variety of languages.

Comparison of spatial sound recording techniques with usage of ambisonics and object-based audio [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electronics and Telecommunications
In this article spatial audio recording techniques are compared: scene-based audio and object-based audio. The study involved mixing recordings from a higher-order ambisonic microphone and support microphones, ambisonically encoded on a virtual sphere ...

Optimal Non-Uniform Sampling by Branch-and-Bound Approach for Speech Coding

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2022
Speech coding plays a significant role in voice communication and improving network bandwidth efficiency for applications that require long-distance communication or storage space utilization. Non-uniform sampling (NUS) is a technique for the same, which

Subjective Evaluation of Music Compressed with the ACER Codec Compared to AAC, MP3, and Uncompressed PCM

open access: yesInternational Journal of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Audio data compression has revolutionised the way in which the music industry and musicians sell and distribute their products. Our previous research presented a novel codec named ACER (Audio Compression Exploiting Repetition), which achieves data reduction by exploiting irrelevancy and redundancy in musical structure whilst generally maintaining ...

Direct Modelling of Magnitude and Phase Spectra for Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We propose a simple new representation for the FFT spectrum tailored to statistical parametric speech synthesis. It consists of four feature streams that describe magnitude, phase and fundamental frequency using real numbers.

Real‐Time Audio‐Visual Analysis for Multiperson Videoconferencing

open access: yesAdvances in Multimedia, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
We describe the design of a system consisting of several state‐of‐the‐art real‐time audio and video processing components enabling multimodal stream manipulation (e.g., automatic online editing for multiparty videoconferencing applications) in open, unconstrained environments.

Perceptual Optimization of Room-In-Room Reproduction with Spatially Distributed Loudspeakers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
It is often desirable to reproduce a specific room-acoustic scene, e.g. a concert hall in a playback room, in such a way that the listener has a plausible and authentic spatial impression of the original sound source including the room acoustical ...

A Multi-Frame PCA-Based Stereo Audio Coding Method

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
With the increasing demand for high quality audio, stereo audio coding has become more and more important. In this paper, a multi-frame coding method based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is proposed for the compression of audio signals, including ...

Deep Denoising for Hearing Aid Applications

open access: yes, 2018
Reduction of unwanted environmental noises is an important feature of today's hearing aids (HA), which is why noise reduction is nowadays included in almost every commercially available device.
