The Development and Experimental Evaluation of a Multilingual Speech Corpus for Low-Resource Turkic Languages

Applied Sciences
The development of parallel audio corpora for Turkic languages, such as Kazakh, Uzbek, and Tatar, remains a significant challenge in the development of multilingual speech synthesis, recognition systems, and machine translation.

Mage - Reactive articulatory feature control of HMM-based parametric speech synthesis

, 2013
In this paper, we present the integration of articulatory control into MAGE, a framework for realtime and interactive (reactive) parametric speech synthesis using hidden Markov models (HMMs). MAGE is based on the speech synthesis engine from HTS and uses

Including Pitch Accent Optionality in Unit Selection Text-to-Speech Synthesis [PDF]

, 2008
A significant variability in pitch accent placement is found when comparing the patterns of prosodic prominence realized by different English speakers reading the same sentences. In this paper we describe a simple approach to incorporate this variability

Combining Statistical Parameteric Speech Synthesis and Unit-Selection for Automatic Voice Cloning [PDF]

, 2008
The ability to use the recorded audio of a subject's voice to produce an open-domain synthesis system has generated much interest both in academic research and in commercial speech technology. The ability to produce synthetic versions of a subjects voice

Immunosuppressive Drug Use in Limited Systemic Sclerosis: An International Survey

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Current guidelines recommend immunosuppressive treatment for diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis but are less clear on their use in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) in the absence of internal organ complications. We conducted an international survey to understand current immunosuppressive drug prescribing patterns in lcSSc ...
