HMM based myanmar text to speech system

چکیده
This paper presents a complete statistical speech synthesizer for Myanmar which includes a syllable segmenter, text normalizer, grapheme-to-phoneme convertor, and an HMM-based speech synthesis engine. We believe this is the first such system for the Myanmar language. We performed a thorough human evaluation of the synthesizer relative to human and re-synthesized baselines. Our results show that our system is able to synthesize speech at a quality comparable with similar state-of-the-art synthesizers for other languages.

Myanmar Number Normalization for Text-to-Speech
--Text Normalization is an essential module for Text-to-Speech (TTS) system as TTS systems need to work on real text. This paper describes Myanmar number normalization designed for Myanmar Text-to-Speech system. Semiotic classes forMyanmar language are identified by the study of Myanmar text corpus and Weighted Finite State Transducers (WFST) based Myanmar number normalization is implemented. N...

In order to facilitate the entry of data into the computer and its digitalization, automatic recognition of printed texts and manuscripts is one of the considerable aid to many applications. Research on automatic document recognition started decades ago with the recognition of isolated digits and letters, and today, due to advancements in machine learning methods, efforts are being made to iden...
متن کاملSpeech enhancement based on hidden Markov model using sparse code shrinkage
This paper presents a new hidden Markov model-based (HMM-based) speech enhancement framework based on the independent component analysis (ICA). We propose analytical procedures for training clean speech and noise models by the Baum re-estimation algorithm and present a Maximum a posterior (MAP) estimator based on Laplace-Gaussian (for clean speech and noise respectively) combination in the HMM ...
متن کاملIdentification of Adopted Pali Words in Myanmar Text
Myanmar language has been significantly influenced by Pali language due to the practice of Buddhism and study of Buddhist literature in Myanmar. As a result, Pali words have been widely adopted and used in Myanmar language. This study presents an algorithm for identifying Myanmar-adopted Pali words in Myanmar text. The system employs a combination of rule-based syllable segmentation and a dicti...
متن کاملMyanmar Language Speech Recognition with Hybrid Artificial Neural Network and Hidden Markov Model
There are many artificial intelligence approaches used in the development of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), hybrid approach is one of them. The common hybrid method in speech recognition is the combination of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM). The hybrid ANN/HMM is able to classify the phoneme model and to combine the strength of HMM in sequential modeling struc...
