Implementation of Phonetic Context Variable Length Unit Selection Module for Malay Text to Speech
Problem statement: The main problem with current Malay Text-To-Speech (MTTS) synthesis system is the poor quality of the generated speech sound due to the inability of traditional TTS system to provide multiple choices of unit for generating more accurate synthesized speech. Approach: This study proposes a phonetic context variable length unit selection MTTS system that is capable of providing ...
متن کاملApplying scalable phonetic context similarity in unit selection of concatenative text-to-speech
This paper presents an approach using phonetic context similarity as a cost function in unit selection of concatenative Textto-Speech. The approach measures the degree of similarity between the desired context and the candidate segment under different phonetic contexts. It considers the impact from relatively far contexts when plenty of candidates are available and can take advantage of the dat...
متن کاملA text-to-speech platform for variable length optimal unit searching using perceptual cost functions
In concatenative Text-to-Speech, the size of the speech corpus is closely related to synthetic speech quality. In this paper, we describe our work on a new corpus-based Bell Labs' TTS system. This encompasses large acoustic inventories with a rich set of annotations, models and data structures for representing and managing such inventories, and an optimal unit selection algorithm that accommoda...
متن کاملVariable-length acoustic units inference for text-to-speech synthesis
The best voices in text-to-speech synthesis are currently obtained via acoustic units concatenation-based systems. In such systems, the choice of units whose concatenations will produce an acoustic message is a crucial stage. Moreover, it can be observed that current TTS systems use acoustic units which most often correspond to variable-length phonetic descriptions. In this article, an original...
متن کاملStatistical Context-dependent Units Boundary Correction for Corpus-based Unit-selection Text-to-speech
In this study, we present an innovative technique for speaker adaptation in order to improve the accuracy of segmentation with application to unit-selection Text-To-Speech (TTS) systems. Unlike conventional techniques for speaker adaptation, which attempt to improve the accuracy of the segmentation using acoustic models that are more robust in the face of the speaker's characteristics, we aim t...
