Speech Synthesis Method And Speech Synthesizer
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2011A language processing portion ( 31 ) analyzes a text from a dialogue processing section ( 20 ) and transforms the text to information on pronunciation and accent. A prosody generation portion ( 32 ) generates an intonation pattern according to a control signal from the dialogue processing section ( 20 ). A waveform DB ( 34 ) stores prerecorded waveform

We present a speech synthesis architecture, IPOX, wich allows the integration of various aspects pf prosodic structure at different structural levels. This is achieved by using a hierarchical, metrical representation os the input string in analysis as well as phonetic interpretation.

Speech synthesis method and speech synthesizer
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009A speech synthesis method comprises selecting a predetermined formant parameters from formant parameters according to a pitch pattern, phoneme duration, and phoneme symbol string, generating a plurality of sine waves based on formant frequency and formant phase of the formant parameters selected, multiplying the sine waves by windowing functions of the

Speech recognition and speech synthesis
Euromicro Newsletter, 1979Abstract Speech synthesis and speech recognition are still in the experimental stage. Much remains to be done in this field, but looking at the ever growing amount of people on this subject the “pergect” speech synthesizer featuring low cost and high performance is to be expected soon.

Speech output generation in the SmartKom system is realized by a corpus-based unit selection strategy that preserves many properties of the human voice. When the system’s avatar “Smartakus” is present on the screen, the synthetic speech signal is temporally synchronized with Smartakus visible speech gestures and prosodically adjusted to his pointing ...

Physics in Technology, 1982
Discusses the developments of electronic speech synthesizers due to the advances in microelectronic devices and due to novel signal processing techniques. The technique of vocal tract modeling is first described and then the following two methods of speech synthesis are dealt with in some detail: a method based on linear predictive coding and speech ...

In Chapter 4, an acoustic tube model for speech production was developed. The reflection coefficients defining the model were demonstrated to be obtainable directly from the speech waveform using linear prediction. It was shown that by cascading the Kelly-Lochbaum sections, or by introducing a transformation of variables, mathematical structures were ...

Speech Models and Speech Synthesis
1997Basic research in speech science over the last half century has benefited greatly from our endeavors to synthesize speech by machine. For example, developing programs for simulating the time course of fundamental frequency variation over sentences and longer utterances has been an indispensable research tool in our basic understanding of intonation ...
