Prospects for articulatory synthesis: A position paper

نویسندگان

  • Christine H. Shadle

چکیده

Concatenative synthesis is currently the favoured approach to text-to-speech synthesis, yet it has fundamental limitations. In the longer-term, articulatory synthesis has much greater potential. Different approaches to articulatory synthesis are discussed in terms of the choices made concerning the articulatory processes modelled, the simplifying assumptions, and the data collected.

Articulatory Synthesis: Advances and Prospects

Speech synthesis has achieved a high level of quality and usefulness, but the flexibility of diphone and other acoustically based schemes is limited. Articulatory synthesis holds promise for overcoming some of the limitations and for sharpening our understanding of the production/perception link. Progress has been made on several aspects of articulatory synthesis, as the papers in this session ...

Control concepts for articulatory speech synthesis

We present two concepts for the generation of gestural scores to control an articulatory speech synthesizer. Gestural scores are the common input to the synthesizer and constitute an organized pattern of articulatory gestures. The first concept generates the gestures for an utteranceusing the phonetic transcriptions, phone durations, and intonation commands predicted by the Bonn Open Synthesis ...

SQUEEZY: Extending a Multi-touch Screen with Force Sensing Objects for Controlling Articulatory Synthesis

This paper describes Squeezy: a low-cost, tangible input device that adds multi-dimensional input to capacitive multi-touch tablet devices. Force input is implemented through force sensing resistors mounted on a rubber ball, which also provides passive haptic feedback. A microcontroller samples and transmits the measured pressure information. Conductive fabric attached to the finger contact are...

Articulatory Strengthening and Prosodic Hierarchy

This paper reports a set of results based on the spectral and EPG measurements to the read speech copra in Mandarin Chinese, aim at the observation on the relationship between articulatory strengthening and prosody hierarchy. The data obtained both from acoustic and physiological measurements indicate that, articulatory manifestation of any segment in real speech are closely relevant to their p...

Acoustic to articulatory inversion

The context of this work is speech analysis. The subject deals with acoustic-to-articulatory inversion, i.e. the recovery of the temporal evolution of the vocal tract shape from the signal. This topic is important because it is likely to give rise to applications in the domains of speech coding as well as second language learning. Acoustic-to-articulatory inversion relies on an analysis by synt...
