چکیده

Speech synthesis can be produced using many v aried techniques from formant/parametric synthesis to concatenation approaches. This paper present s a n o v el technique 1 , based on the nonlinear dynamics of speech rather than than the time or frequency domain representations. It is demonstrated that the technique can be implemented eectively and used to produce high quality synthesised speech 2 .

The Effect of English Vowel-Recognition Training on Beginner and Advanced Iranian ESL Learners

This study was an attempt to investigate the effect of vowel-recognition training on beginner and advanced Iranian ESL learners. A total of 36 adult Iranian ESL learners (18 advanced and 18 beginners) who were students of various majors at Memorial University (MUN) were recruited for the study. Advanced participants had the experience of living in Canada for at least three years while beginners...

Developing Models of Lithuanian Speech Vowels and Semivowels

Lithuanian vowel and semivowel phoneme modelling framework is proposed. Using this framework, the phoneme signal is described as the output of a linear multiple-input and singleoutput (MISO) system. The MISO system is a parallel connection of single-input and single-output (SISO) systems whose input impulse amplitudes vary in time. Within this framework two synthesis methods are proposed: harmo...

Estimation of resonant characteristics based on AR-HMM modeling and spectral envelope conversion of vowel sounds

A new method was developed for accurately separating source and articulation filter characteristics of speech. This method is based on the AR-HMM modeling, where the residual waveform is expressed as the output sequence from an HMM. To realize an accurate analysis, a scheme of dividing HMM state was newly introduced. Using the AR-filter parameter values obtained through the analysis, we can con...

Applying Perceptual Distance to the Discrimination of Sounds

In sound compression and synthesis, it is valuable to have objective distance measures which can predict the perceived dissimilarity of two sounds. Furthermore it is desirable also to be able to estimate the extent of the dissimilarity or the quality difference between sounds. Since it is the perceived difference that needs to be quantified it can be expected that measures that are derived from...

3-RPS Parallel Manipulator Dynamical Modelling and Control Based on SMC and FL Methods

In this paper, a dynamical model-based SMC (Sliding Mode Control) is proposed fortrajectory tracking of a 3-RPS (Revolute, Prismatic, Spherical) parallel manipulator. With ignoring smallinertial effects of all legs and joints compared with those of the end-effector of 3-RPS, the dynamical model ofthe manipulator is developed based on Lagrange method. By removing the unknown Lagrange multipliers...
