Applying a Hybrid Inton Seamless Speech S
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.

متن کاملDetermination of the Optimal Reduction Ratio for Least Springback during Cold Drawing of Seamless Tubes
Cold drawing process is one of the most used metals forming processes in industries for forming seamless tubes. This process of plastic deformation of metals occurs below the recrystallization temperature and is generally performed at room temperature. When metal is cold worked, upon the release of forming force, the springback occurs. In this paper, the springback effect of the seamless tube t...
متن کاملImproving of Feature Selection in Speech Emotion Recognition Based-on Hybrid Evolutionary Algorithms
One of the important issues in speech emotion recognizing is selecting of appropriate feature sets in order to improve the detection rate and classification accuracy. In last studies researchers tried to select the appropriate features for classification by using the selecting and reducing the space of features methods, such as the Fisher and PCA. In this research, a hybrid evolutionary algorit...
متن کاملHybrid HMM/DTW based Speech Recognition with Kernel Adaptive Filtering Method
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 کاملImproving Recognition Performance Using Co-articulation Rules on the Phrase Level: a First Approach
This paper describes a first approach to improve recognition performance of our hybrid large vocabulary continuous speech recogniser for Dutch by using co-articulation rules on the phrase level. By applying these rules on the reference transcripts used for training the recogniser and by adding a set of special temporary phones that later on will be mapped on the original phones, more robust mod...
