Emotional Speech Synthesis Method Based on PSOLA and DCT [PDF]

open access: yesJisuanji gongcheng, 2017
Emotional speech synthesis is expected to make the synthesized speech more expressive.In order to synthesis more natural emotional speech signals,this paper proposes a new emotional speech synthesis method combining Pitch Synchronous Overlap Add(PSOLA ...

Articulatory features for speech-driven head motion synthesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This study investigates the use of articulatory features for speech-driven head motion synthesis as opposed to prosody features such as F0 and energy that have been mainly used in the literature.

A real-time voice cloning system with multiple algorithms for speech quality improvement.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
With the development of computer technology, speech synthesis techniques are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Speech cloning can be performed as a subtask of speech synthesis technology by using deep learning techniques to extract acoustic ...

Temporal structures for Fast and Slow Speech Rate [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The rhythmic component in speech synthesis often remains rather rudimentary, despite recent major efforts in the modeling of prosodic models. The European COST Action 258 has identified this problem as one of the next challenges for speech synthesis ...

Visual synthesis of speech

open access: yesAnales del Sistema Sanitario de Navarra, 2009
The eyes can come to be the sole tool of communication for highly disabled patients. With the appropriate technology it is possible to successfully interpret eye movements, increasing the possibilities of patient communication with the use of speech synthesisers.

Comparing timing models of two Swiss German dialects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Research on dialectal varieties was for a long time concentrated on phonetic aspects of language. While there was a lot of work done on segmental aspects, suprasegmentals remained unexploited until the last few years, despite the fact that prosody was ...

Tacotron: Towards End-to-End Speech Synthesis

open access: yes, 2017
A text-to-speech synthesis system typically consists of multiple stages, such as a text analysis frontend, an acoustic model and an audio synthesis module. Building these components often requires extensive domain expertise and may contain brittle design

Es-Tacotron2: Multi-Task Tacotron 2 with Pre-Trained Estimated Network for Reducing the Over-Smoothness Problem

open access: yesInformation, 2019
Text-to-speech synthesis is a computational technique for producing synthetic, human-like speech by a computer. In recent years, speech synthesis techniques have developed, and have been employed in many applications, such as automatic translation ...

Two-pass decision tree construction for unsupervised adaptation of HMM-based synthesis models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Hidden Markov model (HMM) -based speech synthesis systems possess several advantages over concatenative synthesis systems. One such advantage is the relative ease with which HMM-based systems are adapted to speakers not present in the training dataset ...
