Text-to-Speech Synthesis using Phoneme Concatenation
We proposed Text-To-Speech (TTS) synthesis system based on phonetic concatenation for unrestricted input text. The input text is first converted into phonetic transcription using Letter-to-Sound rules. For synthesis of a new speech, TTS system selects the recorded phoneme units (PUs) from database and modifies the duration according to the rule based on spelling using Time Domain Pitch Synchron...
متن کاملSynthesis by word concatenation
Verbmobil is a speaker-independent system that offers translation assistance in dialogue situations. In co-operation with other institutes we are developing the speech synthesis module within Verbmobil for German and American English. Current priority is given to an enhancement of naturalness of our PSOLA based concatenative synthesis of German. Due to a tight schedule we investigated alternati...
متن کاملWord and syllable concatenation in text-to-speech synthesis
MeteoSPRUCE is a database of 2000 words relating to weather forecasting. While such a database is clearly not large enough to be definitive, its usability can be greatly extended by excising syllables from polysyllabic words in its inventory and recombining them to form new words [1], [2], [3]. The authors believe that it provides sufficient data to start to enable conclusions to be drawn as to...
متن کاملSpeech concatenation and synthesis using an overlap-add sinusoidal model
In this paper, an algorithm for the concatenation of speech signal segments taken from disjoint utterances is presented. The algorithm is based on the Analysis-bySynthesis/Overlap-Add (ABS/OLA) sinusoidal model [1, 2, 3], which is capable of performing high quality pitchand time-scale modi cation of both speech and music signals. With the incorporation of concatenation and smoothing techniques,...
متن کاملModified re-synthesis of initial voiceless plosives by concatenation of speech from different speakers
This paper describes a method of resynthesising utterance-initial voiceless plosives, given an original utterance by one speaker and a speech database of utterances by many other speakers. The system removes an initial voiceless plosive from an utterance and replaces it with another voiceless plosive selected from the speech database. (For example, if the original utterance was /tat/, the resyn...
