Forward Masking Phenomenon in Concatenative Speech Synthesis
The approach described in the paper tries to get more knowledge to the concatenative text-to-speech system design. The knowledge is based on masking phenomenon of the inner ear, particularly of its temporal (forward) masking properties. Designing such knowledge-based system is suggested to use in the unit selection-based speech synthesis, as contemporary a prominent technique in concatenative s...
متن کاملMasking of speech by amplitude-modulated noise.
The masking of speech by amplitude-modulated and unmodulated speech-spectrum noise has been evaluated by the measurement of monaural speech recognition in such noise on young and elderly subjects with normal-hearing and elderly hearing-impaired subjects with and without a hearing aid. Sinusoidal modulation with frequencies covering the range 2-100 Hz, as well as an irregular modulation generate...
متن کاملForward masking for increased robustness in automatic speech recognition
In automatic speech recognition mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) or linear predictive cepstral coefficients (LPCC) are features commonly used today. However, their calculation considers only a few features of the auditory system. On the assumption that the human representation of speech is an optimal representation, considering more features of the auditory system might lead to a bett...

متن کاملA perceptual masking approach for noise robust speech recognition
This article describes a modified technique for enhancing noisy speech to improve automatic speech recognition (ASR) performance. The proposed approach improves the widely used spectral subtraction which inherently suffers from the associated musical noise effects. Through a psychoacoustic masking and critical band variance normalization technique, the artifacts produced by spectral subtraction...
