Text-to-Speech Synthesis for Whispered Speech
Whispering is a modality of speech that is defined as an unvoiced mode of phonation in which the vocal cords do not vibrate, but are adducted sufficiently to create audible turbulence as the speaker exhales during speech [1]. Whispered speech production is found in most world languages and is considered to be one of linguistic universals [2]. The social role of whispering is to communicate info...
متن کاملWhispered Speech Prosody Modeling for TTS Synthesis
This paper is devoted to modeling prosody of whispered Russian speech. The practical purpose of this research is to extend voice cloning techniques to whispered speech modality. The authors present their analysis of prosodic features that contribute to the expression of sentence type intonation in whispered speech. The current investigation includes intonation contours in complete and incomplet...
متن کاملSpectral voice conversion for text-to-speech synthesis
A new voice conversion algorithm that modifies a source speaker's speech to sound as if produced by a target speaker is presented. It is applied to a residualexcited LPC text-to-speech diphone synthesizer. Spectral parameters are mapped using a locally linear transformation based on Gaussian mixture models whose parameters are trained by joint density estimation. The LPC residuals are adjusted ...
متن کاملSpeech Analysis – Synthesis Based on the Ptdft for Voice Conversion
Voice conversion problem became very popular in the world. It has applications in many fields, for example in systems that make use of prerecorded speech, such as voice mailboxes or text-to-speech synthesizers based on acoustic unit concatenation. In such cases, voice modification would be a simple and efficient way to create a desired variety of voices while avoiding recording of different spe...
متن کاملCodec integrated voice conversion for embedded speech synthesis
Voice conversion technologies transform individual characteristics of speech patterns while preserving the original content, and can be widely used in speech processing. Considering limited system resources, in particular, of embedded concatenative speech synthesis, voice conversion may reduce the memory consumption of the acoustic database. Voice conversion enables the intra-gender or cross-ge...
