A New Unit Selection Optimisation Algorithm for Corpus-Based TTS Systems Using the RBF-Based Data Compression Technique

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
A major drawback of corpus-based speech synthesis systems is the use of large acoustic inventories, and currently one of the main challenges is the optimal representation of concatenation costs associated with units in the acoustic inventory.

Learning speaker-specific pronunciations of disordered speech

open access: yes, 2013
One of the main clinical applications of speech technology is in voice-enabled assistive technology for people with disordered speech. Progress in this area is hampered by a sparseness in suitable data and recent research have focused on ways of ...

Effects of Spectral Distortion on Speech Intelligibility

open access: yes, 2014
Fine-structure cues play a role in understanding speech in fluctuating noise, but do not appear to be accessible to listeners with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) (Lorenzi et al., 2006).

Neural-WDRC: A Deep Learning Wide Dynamic Range Compression Method Combined With Controllable Noise Reduction for Hearing Aids

open access: yesTrends in Hearing
Wide dynamic range compression (WDRC) and noise reduction both play important roles in hearing aids. WDRC provides level-dependent amplification so that the level of sound produced by the hearing aid falls between the hearing threshold and the highest ...

A Burst-by-Burst Adaptive Joint-Detection Based CDMA Speech Transceiver

open access: yes, 2001
A burst-by-burst adaptive speech transceiver is proposed, which can drop its source coding rate and speech quality under transceiver control in order to invoke a more error resilient modem mode amongst less favourable channel conditions.

On the effect of AMR and AMR-WB GSM compression on overlapped speech for forensic analysis

open access: yes, 2011
The recent ubiquity of mobile telephony has posed the challenge of forensic speech analysis on compressed speech content. Whilst existing research studies have investigated the effect of mobile speech compression on speaker and speech parameters, this ...

Model-Based Speech Signal Coding Using Optimized Temporal Decomposition for Storage and Broadcasting Applications

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2003
A dynamic programming-based optimization strategy for a temporal decomposition (TD) model of speech and its application to low-rate speech coding in storage and broadcasting is presented.

Speech Compression Techniques: An Overview

open access: yes, 2017
Speech is the natural phenomena of human for communication purpose. The aim of speech coding is to compress the speech signal to the highest possible compression ratio but maintaining user acceptability.

Effectiveness of computer-based auditory training in improving the perception of noise-vocoded speech [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Five experiments were designed to evaluate the effectiveness of “high-variability” lexical training in improving the ability of normal-hearing subjects to perceive noise-vocoded speech that had been spectrally shifted to simulate tonotopic misalignment ...
