Diphone Databases for Lithuanian Text-to-Speech Synthesis
نویسنده
چکیده
One of the components of the text-to-speech synthesis system is the database of sounds. Two Lithuanian diphone databases in the MBROLA format are presented in this paper. The list of phonemes and the list of diphones necessary for Lithuanian text-to-speech synthesis are described. The problem of phoneme combinations that are not used in the Lithuanian language is dealt with in the work. Also, the article is concerned with transcribing a Lithuanian text.

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. ...
متن کاملSpeech Data Analysis for Diphone Construction of a Maori Online Text-to-speech Synthesizer
One of the main types of speech processing technologies today is text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis. A well established speech synthesizer technique called ‘diphone concatenation’ uses a speakers processed speech examples to apply a more human-like response to the TTS synthesis system. This methodology has been used to construct many diphone databases for various languages, and was the basis for bu...
متن کاملAn implementation and evaluation of two diphone-based synthesizers for Turkish
This paper presents two diphone based Turkish text-to-speech systems; the first system is realized inside the MBROLA project, a freely available multilingual speech synthesizer and the second system is based on shape invariant harmonic modeling. Both synthesizers use the same parametric representations of two diphone databases (male, female) obtained by processing speech data with a pitch async...
متن کاملHalfphones: A Backoff Mechanism for Diphone Unit Selection Synthesis
Diphone Backoff mechanisms in text-to-speech provide a means of ensuring that synthesis of the text takes place, even if some of the diphones in the text are missing in the speech database. This paper describes an automatic method for synthetically creating missing diphones from halfphones that are in the speech database.
متن کاملDiphone synthesis using unit selection
This paper describes an experimental AT&T concatenative synthesis system using unit selection, for which the basic synthesis units are diphones. The synthesizer may use any of the data from a large database of utterances. Since there are in general multiple instances of each concatenative unit, the system performs dynamic unit selection. Selection among candidates is done dynamically at synthes...
