Multisyn: Open-domain unit selection for the Festival speech synthesis system
We present the implementation and evaluation of an open-domain unit selection speech synthesis engine designed to be flexible enough to encourage further unit selection research and allow rapid voice development by users with minimal speech synthesis knowledge and experience. We address the issues of automatically processing speech data into a usable voice using automatic segmentation technique...
متن کاملRobust Unit Selection System for Speech Synthesis
There has been much interest for many years in diphone-based concatenative speech synthesis and, recently, a rapidly increasing interest in unit selection based synthesis (as illustrated by the CHATR [2] system). However, the limitations of both types of system are well known. While intelligibility is generally very high for diphone based systems, the resulting signals do not sound completely n...
متن کاملStudy on Unit-Selection and Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesis Techniques
One of the interesting topics on multimedia domain is concerned with empowering computer in order to speech production. Speech synthesis is granting human abilities to the computer for speech production. Data-based approach and process-based approach are the two main approaches on speech synthesis. Each approach has its varied challenges. Unit-selection speech synthesis and statistical parametr...
متن کاملFestival Multisyn Voices for the 2007 Blizzard Challenge
This paper describes selected aspects of the Festival Multisyn entry to the Blizzard Challenge 2007. We provide an overview of the process of building the three required voices from the speech data provided. This paper focuses on new features of Multisyn which are currently under development and which have been employed in the system used for this Blizzard Challenge. These differences are the a...
متن کاملUnit Size in Unit Selection Speech Synthesis
In this paper, we address the issue of choice of unit size in unit selection speech synthesis. We discuss the development of a Hindi speech synthesizer and our experiments with different choices of units: syllable, diphone, phone and half phone. Perceptual tests conducted to evaluate the quality of the synthesizers with different unit size indicate that the syllable synthesizer performs better ...
