Digital-formant synthesizer for speech-synthesis studies.
Recent work on speech synthesis by rule has led to the design and evaluation f a new digital formant synthesizer. The synthesizer was simulated ona digital computer at a 20-kHz sampling frequency. The improvements over previous synthesizers include: an excitation sonrce for the unvoiced compm•eut of voiced fricatives; a method for producing a voice bar for the closure p riod ofvoiced stops; and...
متن کاملExpressive speech synthesis using a concatenative synthesizer
1 This paper describes an experiment in synthesizing four emotional states anger, happiness, sadness and neutral – using a concatenative speech synthesizer. To achieve this, five emotionally (i.e., semantically) unbiased target sentences were prepared. Then, separate speech inventories, comprising the target diphones for each of the above emotions, were recorded. Using the 16 different combinat...
متن کاملSynthesis of names by a demisyllable-based speech synthesizer (SPOKESMAN)
Many applications for text-to-speech synthesis involve the translation of names and!or addresses. However, most commercially available synthesizers are particularly poor at synthesizing names, since the focus of their development is typically synthesizing words. Names in the United States, for example, are often pronounced in accordance with rules different from the rules of English words. The ...
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 کاملThe klattgrid speech synthesizer
We present a new speech synthesizer class, named KlattGrid, for the Praat program [3]. This synthesizer is based on the original description of Klatt [1, 2]. New aspects of a KlattGrid in comparison with other Klatt-type synthesizers are that a KlattGrid • is not frame-based but time-based. You specify parameters as a function of time with any precision you like. • has no limitations on the num...
