Applying a Hybrid into Seamless Speech
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a speech synthesizer to seamlessly concatenate recorded and synthetic phrases to produce natural sounding and highly expressive speech. Not only the acoustic units, but also the F0 contours are seamlessly concatenated together from recorded and synthetic phrases. When mixed with recorded phrases, the F0 contours of synthetic phrases are generated adaptively relative to the actual surrounding F0 shapes of the recorded phrases. Although the intonation generation scheme was originally developed for unlimited speech synthesis, it is quite naturally extended to a hybrid intonation generation.

We have proposed new approach for the speech recognition system by applying kernel adaptive filter for speech enhancement and for the recognition, the hybrid HMM/DTW methods are used in this paper. Noise removal is very important in many applications like telephone conversation, speech recognition, etc. In the recent past, the kernel methods are showing good results for speech processing applic...
متن کاملApplication of a Seamless and Restriction Endonuclease-free Cloning Method to Produce Recombinant Full-length N-terminal His-tagged Streptolysin O in E.coli
Background and Aims: DNA cloning, sub-cloning and site directed mutagenesis are the most common strategies in nearly all projects of recombinant protein production. The classical method of restriction site cloning is unsatisfactory due to the need for supply of restriction enzymes and the inefficiency of the digestion reaction. Many new methods, including recombinatorial cloning and ligation in...
