Didactic Speech Synthesizer: Acoustic Module - Formants Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Text-to-speech synthesis is the main subject treated in this work. It will be presented the constitution of a generic text-to-speech system conversion, explained the functions of the various modules and described the development techniques using the formants model. The development of a didactic formant synthesiser under Matlab environment will also be described. This didactic synthesiser is intended for a didactic understanding of the formant model of speech production.

Articulatory synthesis of formant targeted sounds with parameters derived from the inverse solution of speech production
A new approach to produce high fidelity speech sounds by applying both the inverse solution of speech production and the pitchsynchronousarticulatory synthesis technique is presented. Given a formant trace target, the dynamic vocal-tract area function together with time variant VT length are estimated using an inverse solution of speech production. The improved Kelly-Lochbaum filter of the synt...
متن کاملThe Organization of a Neurocomputational Control Model for Articulatory Speech Synthesis
The organization of a computational control model of articulatory speech synthesis is outlined in this paper. The model is based on general principles of neurophysiology and cognitive psychology. Thus it is based on such neural control circuits, neural maps and mappings as are hypothesized to exist in the human brain, and the model is based on learning or training mechanisms similar to those oc...
متن کاملEfficient Bootstrapping of Vocalization Skills Using Active Goal Babbling
We use goal babbling, a recent approach to bootstrapping inverse models, for vowel acquisition with an articulatory speech synthesizer. In contrast to motor babbling, goal babbling organizes exploration in a low-dimensional goal space. While such a goal space is naturally given in many motor learning tasks, the difficulty in modeling speech production lies within the complexity of acoustic feat...
متن کاملThe klattgrid speech synthesizer
We present a new speech synthesizer class, named KlattGrid, for the Praat program [3]. This synthesizer is based on the original description of Klatt [1, 2]. New aspects of a KlattGrid in comparison with other Klatt-type synthesizers are that a KlattGrid • is not frame-based but time-based. You specify parameters as a function of time with any precision you like. • has no limitations on the num...
متن کاملA Copy Synthesis Method to Pilot
This paper presents a copy synthesis method devoted to the control of the Klatt synthesizer. Our method allows speech stimuli to be constructed very easily from natural sounds. We chose the parallel branch of the Klatt synthesizer, which allows us to control formant amplitudes. The analysis strategy of a speech signal is straightforward: the fundamental frequency is calculated so that voiced re...
