Single Speaker Acoustic Analysis of Czech Speech for Purposes of Emotional Speech Synthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with an acoustic analysis of the sets of Czech sentences uttered by single speaker. The data used in this analysis consists of both emotional and neutral sentences. We have been especially interested in some features which are supposed to influence the perception of speech, such as F0, phoneme duration, formant frequencies or energy. The analyzed sets of sentences were composed of utterances expressing various speaker’s attitude. We have tried to reveal some acoustically measurable differences among various speaker’s attitudes so that we could incorporate this knowledge into our speech synthesis system [8] to obtain emotional synthetic speech.

Although, speech recognition systems are widely used and their accuracies are continuously increased, there is a considerable performance gap between their accuracies and human recognition ability. This is partially due to high speaker variations in speech signal. Deep neural networks are among the best tools for acoustic modeling. Recently, using hybrid deep neural network and hidden Markov mo...
