Using Mage for Real Time Speech-laugh Synthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present an ongoing work which aims at synthesizing speech-laugh sentences in realtime. To do so, the Hidden Markov Model (HMM)based speech-laugh synthesis system will be used along with the MAGE software library. First results are available online on tcts.fpms.ac.be/~laughter/ laughterWorkshop15.

Laughter modulation: from speech to speech-laugh
Laughing while speaking, also referred to as speech-laugh, occurs frequently in social conversations. In order to understand how laughter influences the acoustics of its co-occurring speech signal, we take a synthesis approach in designing an interactive system for artificial “laughter modulation”: users input an arbitrary speech signal, and the system processes the signal to yield acoustic pat...
متن کاملMage - HMM-based speech synthesis reactively controlled by the articulators
In this paper, we present the recent progress in the MAGE project. MAGE is a library for realtime and interactive (reactive) parametric speech synthesis using hidden Markov models (HMMs). Here, it is broadened in order to support not only the standard acoustic features (spectrum and f0) to model and synthesize speech but also to combine acoustic and articulatory features, such as tongue, lips a...
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 کاملMage - reactive articulatory feature control of HMM-based parametric speech synthesis
In this paper, we present the integration of articulatory control into MAGE, a framework for realtime and interactive (reactive) parametric speech synthesis using hidden Markov models (HMMs). MAGE is based on the speech synthesis engine from HTS and uses acoustic features (spectrum and f0) to model and synthesize speech. In this work, we replace the standard acoustic models with models combinin...
متن کاملMAGE -A Platform for Tangible Speech Synthesis
In this paper, we describe our pioneering work in developing speech synthesis beyond the Text-To-Speech paradigm. We introduce tangible speech synthesis as an alternate way of envisioning how artificial speech content can be produced. Tangible speech synthesis refers to the ability, for a given system, to provide some physicality and interactivity to important speech production parameters. We p...
