A close look into the probabilistic concatenation model for corpus-based speech synthesis
We have proposed a novel probabilistic approach to concatenation modeling for corpus-based speech synthesis, where the goodness of concatenation for a unit is modeled using a conditional Gaussian probability density whose mean is defined as a linear transform of the feature vector from the previous unit. This approach has shown its effectiveness through a subjective listening test. In this pape...
متن کاملCU VOCAL: corpus-based syllable concatenation for Chinese speech synthesis across domains and dialects
This paper describes CU VOCAL, a Chinese text-to-speech synthesis system that adopts the approach of corpus-based syllable concatenation. We have demonstrated the applicability of the approach primarily for Cantonese, a major dialect of Chinese predominant in Hong Kong, South China and many overseas Chinese communities. This work extends our previous work as described in [1]. Our approach is ab...
متن کاملProsody annotation for corpus based speech synthesis
The paper concerns prosody annotation especially for application in a corpus based speech synthesis. In order to establish the rules of automatic intonation modelling, phonetically labeled speech database of 4 hours has been perceptually and acoustically analyzed. The speech material included different text types and prosodically rich phrases. The annotation of the speech database consists in p...
متن کاملCorpus Design for Malay Corpus-based Speech Synthesis System
Problem statement: Speech corpus is one of the major components in corpus-based synthesis. The quality and coverage in speech corpus will affect the quality of synthesis speech sound. Approach: This study proposes a corpus design for Malay corpus-based speech synthesis system. This includes the study of design criteria in corpus-based speech synthesis, Malay corpus based database design and the...
متن کاملA probabilistic approach to unit selection for corpus-based speech synthesis
In this paper, we present a novel statistical approach to corpus-based speech synthesis. Unit selection is directed by probabilistic models for F0 contour, duration, and spectral characteristics of the synthesis units. The F0 targets for units are modeled by statistical additive models, and duration targets are modeled by regression trees. Spectral targets for a unit is modeled by Gaussian mixt...
