Synthesis by word concatenation
Verbmobil is a speaker-independent system that offers translation assistance in dialogue situations. In co-operation with other institutes we are developing the speech synthesis module within Verbmobil for German and American English. Current priority is given to an enhancement of naturalness of our PSOLA based concatenative synthesis of German. Due to a tight schedule we investigated alternati...
متن کاملWord and syllable concatenation in text-to-speech synthesis
MeteoSPRUCE is a database of 2000 words relating to weather forecasting. While such a database is clearly not large enough to be definitive, its usability can be greatly extended by excising syllables from polysyllabic words in its inventory and recombining them to form new words [1], [2], [3]. The authors believe that it provides sufficient data to start to enable conclusions to be drawn as to...
متن کاملUse of clustering information for coarticulation compensation in speech synthesis by word concatenation
The Weather Report Synthesizer is a speech synthesis system for weather forecasts in Greek. Instead of trying to improve the synthesis quality of PSOLA based diphone concatenation speech synthesizers, we have chosen to use words as the synthesis units. This approach has the advantage of low complexity and quick implementation, while at the same time it achieves better speech quality due to the ...
متن کاملIn-Development Assessment of Concatenation Synthesis by Nonnative Speakers
In-development assessment of speech synthesis is inevitable in industrial contexts. However, there is a strong need to minimize expenditure. Therefore, we present an evaluation procedure which involves considerably less time than other evaluations and may be carried out under laboratory conditions. Furthermore, we compare groups of raters which differ with respect to their competence concerning...
متن کاملSynthesis by generation and concatenation of multiform segments
Machine generated speech can be produced in different ways however there are two basic methods for synthesizing speech in widespread use. One method generates speech from models, while the other method concatenates pre-stored speech segments. This paper presents a speech synthesis technique where these two basic synthesis methods are combined in a statistical framework. Synthetic speech is cons...
