A multilingual phonetic representation and analysis system for different speech databases
نویسندگان
چکیده
A multilingual phonetic representation and analysis system for different speech databases is presented. The need for such a system is first justified and then one is proposed based on the Worldbet phonetic alphabet. A phonetic class hierarchy is developed and a description of the hierarchical structural representation follows. Database access is based on the latter and is accomplished by defining predicate search functions and applying them to a database. Immediate signal analysis of the results is possible since the multilingual phonetic representation system is seamlessly integrated into a digital signal processing environment.

متن کاملACTOR: A multilingual unit-selection speech synthesis system
The ACTOR® Text-To-Speech (TTS) synthesis system, developed at Loquendo S.p.A., is here described. The system employs a unit -selection concatenative synthesis technique, relying on labeled acoustic databases providing phonetic and prosodic coverage of the intended language/domain and on an original algorithm for run-time selection of the acoustic units to be concatenated. This technique yields...
متن کاملA Bilingual Spanish-Catalan Database of Units for Concatenative Synthesis
Different databases of phonetic units are required in multilingual Text-to-Speech systems based on concatenative synthesis. We are currently developing a TTS system able to convert text either in Catalan and Spanish, with some of the modules being used indistinctly by the two languages while others are specific to each language. In order to reduce the total amount of units, a bilingual database...
متن کاملمراحل و نحوه ی تهیه ی دادگان های صوتی هجایی و دایفونی برای سامانه ی تبدیل متن به گفتار فارسی
Abstract Speech databases are part of the concatenative text to speech synthesis systems. Phonetic quality of the databases plays a significant role in the naturalness of the synthesized speech. This paper introduces two syllable and diphone speech databases for Persian and investigates the way of their development and their specifications and their advantages to each other. ...
