Concatenative arabic speech synthesis using large speech database
Speech synthesis has got a lot of research interest as it represents an important part in a complete text-to-speech system. In this paper, an Arabic speech synthesis system has been proposed. The proposed system belongs to the family of concatenative speech synthesis systems that use large speech database. The concatenation unit inventory has been automatically constructed from a pre-recorded o...
متن کاملTechniques for high quality Arabic speech synthesis
The paper proposes a diphone/sub-syllable method for Arabic Text-to-speech systems. The proposed approach exploits the particular syllabic structure of the Arabic words. For good quality, the boundaries of the speech segments are chosen to occur only at the sustained portion of vowels. The speech segments consists of consonantshalf vowels, half vowel-consonants, half vowels, middle portion of v...
متن کاملImproving Arabic HMM based speech synthesis quality
HMM based speech synthesis, where speech parameters are generated directly from HMM models, is a new technique relative to other speech synthesis techniques. In this paper, we propose some modifications to the basic system to improve its quality. We apply a multi-band excitation model. And we use samples extracted from the spectral envelop as spectral parameters. In the synthesis, the voiced an...
متن کاملMulti-lingual concatenative speech synthesis
This paper describes a method of concatenative speech synthesis that makes use of 3-dimensional labelling of speech, and shows how this can be applied to the synthesis of both mono-lingual and foreign-language speech. The dimensions encode phonetic, prosodic, and voicequality information in order to fully describe the acoustic characteristics of each speech segment.
متن کاملRefined speech segmentation for concatenative speech synthesis
High accuracy phonetic segmentation is critical for achieving good quality in concatenative text to speech synthesis. Due to the shortcomings of current automated techniques based on HMM-based alignment or Dynamic Time Warping (DTW), manual verification and labeling are often required. In this paper we present a novel technique for automatic placement of phoneme boundaries in a speech waveform ...
