KLATTSTAT: knowledge-based parametric speech synthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is an initial investigation into using knowledge-based parameters in the field of statistical parametric speech synthesis (SPSS). Utilizing the types of speech parameters used in the Klatt Formant Synthesizer we present automatic techniques for deriving such parameters from a speech database and building a statistical parametric speech synthesizer from these derived parameters. Although the work is exploratory, it shows promise in using more speech production inspired parameterizations for statistical speech synthesis.

Study on Unit-Selection and Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesis Techniques
One of the interesting topics on multimedia domain is concerned with empowering computer in order to speech production. Speech synthesis is granting human abilities to the computer for speech production. Data-based approach and process-based approach are the two main approaches on speech synthesis. Each approach has its varied challenges. Unit-selection speech synthesis and statistical parametr...
متن کاملArticulatory control of HMM-based parametric speech synthesis driven by phonetic knowledge
This paper presents a method to control the characteristics of synthetic speech flexibly by integrating articulatory features into a Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based parametric speech synthesis system. In contrast to model adaptation and interpolation approaches for speaking style control, this method is driven by phonetic knowledge, and target speech samples are not required. The joint distribu...
متن کاملVowel Creation by Articulatory Control in HMM-based Parametric Speech Synthesis
Hidden Markov model (HMM)-based parametric speech synthesis has become a mainstream speech synthesis method in recent years. This method is able to synthesise highly intelligible and smooth speech sounds. In addition, it makes speech synthesis far more flexible compared to the conventional unit selection and waveform concatenation approach. Several adaptation and interpolation methods have been...
متن کاملWideband Parametric Speech Synthesis Using Warped Linear Prediction
This paper studies the use of warped linear prediction (WLP) for wideband parametric speech synthesis. As the sampling frequency is increased from the usual 16 kHz, linear frequency resolution of conventional linear prediction (LP) cannot efficiently model the speech spectrum. By using frequency warping that weights perceptually the most important formant information, spectral models with bette...
متن کاملStatistical parametric speech synthesis with a novel codebook-based excitation model
Speech synthesis is an important modality in Cognitive Infocommunications, which is the intersection of informatics and cognitive sciences. Statistical parametric methods have gained importance in speech synthesis recently. The speech signal is decomposed to parameters and later restored from them. The decomposition is implemented by speech coders. We apply a novel codebook-based speech coding ...
