Epoch synchronous non-overlap-add (ESNOLA) method-based concatenative speech synthesis system for Bangla

چکیده
In the last decade there has been a shift towards development of speech synthesizer using concatenative synthesis technique instead of parametric synthesis. There are a number of different methodologies for concatenative synthesis like TDPSOLA, PSOLA, and MBROLA. This paper, describes a concatenative speech synthesis system based on Epoch Synchronous Non Over Lapp Add (ESNOLA) technique, for standard colloquial Bengali, which uses the partnemes as the smallest signal units for concatenation. The system provided full control for prosody and intonation.

Nepali Text to Speech Synthesis System using ESNOLA Method of Concatenation
This paper confer the tools and methodology used in developing a Nepali Text to Speech Synthesis System, which is based on concatenative approach employing Epoch Synchronous Non Overlap Add Method (ESNOLA), which uses signal dictionary having raw sound signal representing parts of phonemes as a speech database. The developed system is an unintonated (flat) TTS system where the pitch of the pre-...

Different Bengali TTS systems are already available on a resourceful platform such as a personal computer. However, porting these systems to a resource limited device such as a mobile phone is not an easy task. Practical aspects including application size and processing time have to be concerned. This paper describes the implementation of a Bengali speech synthesizer on a mobile device. For spe...

In this paper, we present a Text to Speech (TTS) synthesis system for Bangla language using the opensource Festival TTS engine. Festival is a complete TTS synthesis system, with components supporting front-end processing of the input text, language modeling, and speech synthesis using its signal processing module. The Bangla TTS system proposed here, creates the voice data for festival, and add...
متن کاملResidual-based speech modification algorithms for text-to-speech synthesis
This paper presents a set of novel algorithms for the signal modification component of concatenative text-to-speech systems. The algorithms described here are based around the LPC analysis/synthesis framework, and achieve prosodic modification by time-domain processing of the LPC residual. The modified residual is then recombined with the all-pole spectral estimate to synthesise the new speech ...
