Simulation of Human Speech Production Applied to the Study and Synthesis of European Portuguese
A new articulatory synthesizer (SAPWindows), with a modular and flexible design, is described. A comprehensive acoustic model and a new interactive glottal source were implemented. Perceptual tests and simulations made possible by the synthesizer contributed to deepen our knowledge of one of the most important characteristics of European Portuguese, the nasal vowels. First attempts at incorpora...
متن کاملEuropean portuguese nasal vowels: an EMMA study
In this paper new EMMA data regarding European Portuguese nasals is presented. Some details about corpus constitution, recording and annotation is given. First results from analysis are presented. Quantitative analysis of velum movement was done for nasal vowels between stops. For the other contexts representative examples are presented and qualitatively analysed. In all contexts nasal vowels a...
متن کاملAdding fricatives to the portuguese articulatory synthesiser
First attempts at incorporating models of frication into an articulatory synthesizer, with a modular and flexible design, are presented. Although the synthesizer allows the user to choose different combinations of source types, noise volume velocity sources have been used to generate turbulence. Preliminary results indicate that the model is capturing essential characteristics of the transfer f...
متن کاملEuropean Portuguese MRI based speech production studies
Knowledge of the speech production mechanism is essential for the development of speech production models and theories. Magnetic Resonance Imaging delivers high quality images of soft tissues, has multiplanar capacity and allows for the visualization of the entire vocal tract. To our knowledge, there are no complete and systematic Magnetic Resonance Imaging studies of European Portuguese produc...
متن کاملThe Project HERON
In the project HERON, we developed a framework for articulatory speech synthesis for European Portuguese. The system combines several modules, developed or adapted in the project. The Linguistic Processing model uses new syllabification and grapheme-to-phone modules developed in the project. The construction of the gestural scores is performed using an adapted version of TADA (TAsk Dynamic Appl...
