Time-Scale Modification of Speech using a Synchronised and Adaptive Overlap-Add (SAOLA) Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synchronised overlap-add (SOLA) algorithm is a commercially popular and considerably researched audio time-scale modification technique. It operates in the time domain and uses a correlation technique to ensure that synthesis frames overlap in a synchronous manner. We present a modification to SOLA that allows the analysis step size adapt to the desired time-scale factor. The synchronised and adaptive overlap-add (SAOLA) algorithm improves upon the output quality of SOLA for high time-scale factors and reduces the computational requirements for low time-scale factors. However, the computational requirements for high time-scale factors are increased.

High quality time-scale modification of speech using a peak alignment overlap-add algorithm (PAOLA)
The duration of a speech passage can be altered using audio time-scale modification techniques. Time-scale modification can be achieved in the time domain by segmenting the input signal into overlapping frames and recombining the frames with an overlap differing from the analysis overlap. We present a time-scale modification algorithm that uses a simple peak alignment technique to synchronize o...

متن کاملWaveform similarity based overlap-add (WSOLA) for time-scale modification of speech: structures and evaluation
A synchronization criterion for overlap-add time-scale modification is derived through a least squares estimation of the modified short-time Fourier transform. Based on this finding, a structural time-domain framework for time-scale modification is described. One efficient variant, which was called the Waveform Similarity based Overlap-Add (WSOLA) method, produces high quality output when appli...
