Formant re-synthesis of dysarthric speech
Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder that is often associated with irregular phonation (e.g. vocal fry) and amplitude, incoordination of articulators, and restricted movement of articulators, among other problems. The present study is part of a project on voice transformation systems for dysarthria, with the goal of producing intelligibility-enhanced speech. We report on a procedure in which f...
متن کاملEnhancement of esophageal speech using formant synthesis
The feasibility of using the formant analysis-synthesis approach to replace the voicing sources of esophageal speech was explored. The voicing sources were generated by using inverse-filtered signals extracted from normal speakers. Pitch extraction was tested with various pitch extraction methods, then simple auto-correlation method was chosen. Special hardware unit was designed to perform the ...
متن کاملDigital-formant synthesizer for speech-synthesis studies.
Recent work on speech synthesis by rule has led to the design and evaluation f a new digital formant synthesizer. The synthesizer was simulated ona digital computer at a 20-kHz sampling frequency. The improvements over previous synthesizers include: an excitation sonrce for the unvoiced compm•eut of voiced fricatives; a method for producing a voice bar for the closure p riod ofvoiced stops; and...
متن کاملMachine-aided formant determination for speech synthesis.
HIS paper describes a method for speech analysis that is an outgrowth of an attempt to do speech synthesis by rule using a terminal analog synthesizer. In speech synthesis by rule, the rules accept an input string of phonemes and, based on the input string, generate control parameters that can then be used to control a speech synthesizer. The synthetic speech produced by the synthesizer can be ...
متن کاملFormant-Controlled HMM-Based Speech Synthesis
This paper proposes a novel framework that enables us to manipulate and control formants in HMM-based speech synthesis. In this framework, the dependency between formants and spectral features is modelled by piecewise linear transforms; formant parameters are effectively mapped by these to the means of Gaussian distributions over the spectral synthesis parameters. The spectral envelope features...
