Speech synthesis, speech simulation and speech science

open access: yes7th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 2002), 2002
Speech synthesis research has been transformed in recent years through the exploitation of speech corpora - both for statistical modelling and as a source of signals for concatenative synthesis.

Speech Synthesis Based on Hidden Markov Models

open access: yesProceedings of the IEEE, 2013
This paper gives a general overview of hidden Markov model (HMM)-based speech synthesis, which has recently been demonstrated to be very effective in synthesizing speech.

Text-to-Speech Synthesis

AT&T Technical Journal, 1995
This paper presents an overview of the problems that occur during text-to-speech (TTS) conversion and describes the particular solutions to these problems taken within the AT&T Bell Laboratories TTS system. In addition to discussing the linguistic and speech analysis issues that must be addressed in a high-quality TTS system, this paper also outlines ...

Diphone speech synthesis

Speech Communication, 1988
Abstract Text-to-speech synthesis requires two steps: linguistic processing (to convert text into phonemes and intonation parameters) and simulation of speech production (to generate the speech waveform). We review different methods for the second task, emphasizing the advantages and disadvantages of the linear predictive (LPC) diphone approach ...

Multimodal speech synthesis

2000 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo. ICME2000. Proceedings. Latest Advances in the Fast Changing World of Multimedia (Cat. No.00TH8532), 2002
Multimodal speech synthesis ("talking heads") encompasses synthesis of speech from text ("text-to-speech", TTS) plus synthesis of a visual presentation of a face that is lip-synced to the generated audio ("visual TTS", VTTS). Talking heads are now practical because of the ever-increasing computing power and falling prices of computer hardware.

Audiovisual Speech Synthesis

International Journal of Speech Technology, 2003
This paper presents the main approaches used to synthesize talking faces, and provides greater detail on a handful of these approaches. An attempt is made to distinguish between facial synthesis itself (i.e. the manner in which facial movements are rendered on a computer screen), and the way these movements may be controlled and predicted using ...

Speech synthesis in telecommunications

IEEE Communications Magazine, 1993
A text-to-speech synthesis system that synthesizes speech from unrestricted text is discussed. The text analysis system, which includes text preprocessing, phrasing and intonation, and letter-to-phoneme conversion, is described. The analyzed text is represented by phonetic characters, stress values, minor- and major-phrase markers, and intonational ...

Speech Models and Speech Synthesis

1997
Basic 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 ...

Speech synthesis apparatus and speech synthesis method

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2010
A speech synthesis apparatus appropriately transforms a voice characteristic of speech. The speech synthesis apparatus includes an element storing unit in which speech elements are stored, and a function storing unit in which transformation functions are stored, an adaptability judging unit which derives a degree of similarity by comparing a speech ...
