Development and experimentation with synthetic visible speech
Speech perception and speech production are skills that rival other impressive human achievements. Even after decades of intense effort, speech recognition by machine remains far inferior to that of human performance. Also, as we have all experienced, speech synthesis has not yet obtained the naturalness and quality of the speech of even a young child. Our research has led us to the view that s...
متن کاملForeign Accents in Synthetic Speech: Development and Evaluation
This paper addresses the generation and evaluation of foreign-accented speech in concatenative text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis. We describe three possible methods of building a Spanish-accented English voice, and evaluate and compare them with respect to preference, intelligibility, and smoothness. Effects of speaking rate and content are also examined. It is found that although using an unmodif...

متن کاملSynthesis of visible speech
Given the importance of visible information in face-toface communication, visible speech synthesis is being developed to control and manipulate visible speech. Experiments have shown that this visible speech is particularly important when the auditory speech is degraded, because of noise, bane:width filtering, or hearing impairment (Massaro, 1987). The strong influence of visible speech is not ...
متن کاملJoint Concept Development and Experimentation
....... Force development activities play a major role in ensuring that the Canadian Forces evolve and adapt to meet future mission requirements. However, the various joint force development activities (capability-based planning, concept development and experimentation) are not closely integrated and frequent changes to these activities have been implemented in recent years. With the intent of ...
