A hybrid time-frequency domain articulatory speech synthesizer
High quality speech at low bit rates (e.g., 2400 bits/s) is one of the important objectives of current speech research. As part of long range activity on this problem, we have developed an efficient computer program that will serve as a tool for investigating whether articulatory speech synthesis may achieve this low bit rate. At a sampling frequency of 8 kHz, the most comprehensive version of ...
متن کاملArticulatory Speech Synthesizer
The aim of this research was to develop a flexible, high quality articulatory speech synthesis tool. One feature of this research tool is the simulated annealing optimization procedure that is used to optimize the vocal tract parameters to match a specified set of formant characteristics. Another aspect of this study is the derivation of a new form of the acoustic equations. A transmission-line...
متن کاملLearning to control an articulatory synthesizer by imitating real speech
The goal of our current project is to build a system that can learn to imitate a version of a spoken utterance using an articulatory speech synthesiser. The approach is informed and inspired by knowledge of early infant speech development. Thus we expect our system to reproduce and exploit the utility of infant behaviours such as listening, vocal play, babbling and word imitation. We expect our...
متن کاملImitating Conversational Laughter with an Articulatory Speech Synthesizer
In this study we present initial efforts to model laughter with an articulatory speech synthesizer. We aimed at imitating a real laugh taken from a spontaneous speech database and created several synthetic versions of it using articulatory synthesis and diphone synthesis. In modeling laughter with articulatory synthesis, we also approximated features like breathing noises that do not normally o...
متن کاملArtisynth: an extensible, cross-platform 3d articulatory speech synthesizer
We describe our progress on the construction of a combined 3D face and vocal tract simulator for articulatory speech synthesis called ArtiSynth. The architecture provides six main modules: (1) a simulator engine and synthesis framework, (2) a two and three-dimensional model development component, (3) a numerics engine, (4) a graphical renderer, (5) an audio synthesis engine and (6) a graphical ...
