Transforming voice quality

8th European Conference on Speech Communication and Technology (Eurospeech 2003), 2003
Voice transformation is the process of transforming the characteristics of speech uttered by a source speaker, such that a listener would believe the speech was uttered by a target speaker. In this paper we address the problem of transforming voice quality. We do not attempt to transform prosody.

High quality voice morphing

2004 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2004
Voice morphing is a technique for modifying a source speaker's speech to sound as if it was spoken by some designated target speaker. Most of the recent approaches to voice morphing apply a linear transformation to the spectral envelope and pitch scaling to modify the prosody.

Voice Quality Assessment and Visualization

2012 Sixth International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems, 2012
Commercial voice analysis systems are expensive and complicated. These equipments are only available at medical centers and need to be operated by well trained physicians. Thus the treatment costs of speech disorders are usually high. To improve this situation, we develop a software system dedicated to the assessment of human voice qualities.
