A Romanian Syllable-Based Text-To-Speech System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article we present the way we have built a syllable-based TTS system for Romanian. The system contains: a text analyser capable to separate syllables from input text and detect accentuation, a vocal database with recorded syllables, a unit matching module and a synthesizer. The analyser was built using a LEX generator by mean of two sets of phonetic rules. Vocal database was generated through an automated wave segmentation procedure. Key-Words: syllable text-to-speech system, rule-driven text analyser, automatic segmentation

A Romanian Corpus for Speech Perception and Automatic Speech Recognition
A speech corpus is available in Romanian to use as the common material in speech perception and automatic speech recognition. It consists of high-quality audio of 400 sentences spoken by each of 12 speakers. Utterances are simple, syntactically identical phrases such as “muta bronz cu p 2 agale.” Preliminary intelligibility tests using the audio signals suggest that the collected speech is easi...

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. ...

This paper describes the design and evaluation of prosodically-sensitive concatenative units for a Persian text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis system. Thesyllables used are prosodically conditioned in the sense that a single conventional syllable is stored as different versions taken directly from the different prosodic domains of the prosodically labeled, read sentences. The three levels of the Per...

This paper addresses the problem of improving the intelligibility of the synthesized speech in Tamil TTS synthesis system. The human speech is artificially generated by Speech synthesis. The normal language text will be automatically converted into speech using Text-to-speech (TTS) system. This paper deals with a corpus-driven Tamil TTS system based on the concatenative synthesis approach. Conc...
متن کاملA syllable based continuous speech recognizer for Tamil
This paper presents a novel technique for building a syllable based continuous speech recognizer when unannotated transcribed train data is available. We present two different segmentation algorithms to segment the speech and the corresponding text into comparable syllable like units. A group delay based two level segmentation algorithm is proposed to extract accurate syllable units from the sp...
