Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleProsody Modification of Standard Arabic Speech Using Combining Synchronous Overlap and Add With Fixed-Synthesis Algorithm and Multi Level Discrete Wavelet TransformYkhlef Faycal, Bensebti Mesaoud, Bendaouia LotfiProblem statement: The objective of prosody modification is to change the amplitude, duration and pitch (F0) of speech segments without altering their spectral envelop. Applications are numerous, including, Text-To-Speech synthesis, transformation of voice characteristics and foreign language learning. Several approaches have been developed in the literature to achieve this goal. The main restrictions of these latter are in the modification … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 6,836 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLOW FOOTPRINT HIGH INTELLIGIBILITY MALAY SPEECH SYNTHESIZER BASED ON STATISTICAL DATALau Chee Yong, Tan Tian SweeSpeech synthesis plays a pivotal role nowadays. It can be found in various daily applications such as in mobile phones, navigation systems, languages learning software and so on. In this study, a Malay language speech synthesizer was designed using hidden Markov model to improve the performance of current Malay speech synthesizer and also extend Malay speech technology. Statistical parametric method … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 19 Nov 2013 · 6,722 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRestricted Domain Malay Speech Synthesizer Using Syntax-Prosody RepresentationSabrina Tiun, Rosni Abdullah, Tang Enya KongThe speech synthesis approach required in restricted domain speech application is a synthesizer that has high quality like the speech output of ‘slot-filler’ approach but have at least the least flexibility of the ‘genuine’ speech synthesizer. Thus, in this research study, we propose an alternative approach of creating a speech synthesizer to be used in a restricted domain speech application. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 14 Nov 2012 · 7,360 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsModeling of Fundamental Frequency Contour of Thai Expressive Speech using Fujisaki's Model and Structural ModelSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In spontaneous speech communication, prosody is an important factor that must be taken into account, since the prosody effects on not only the naturalness but also the intelligibility of speech. Focusing on synthesis of Thai expressive speech, a number of systems has been developed for years. However, the expressive speech with various speaking styles has not been accomplished. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 9 Aug 2011 · 6,975 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparative Evaluation of Phone Duration Models for Greek Emotional SpeechAlexandros Lazaridis, Vasiliki Bourna, Nikos FakotakisProblem statement: In this study we cope with the task of phone duration modeling for Greek emotional speech synthesis. Approach: Various well established machine learning techniques are applied for this purpose to an emotional speech database consisting of five archetypal emotions. The constructed phone duration prediction models are built on phonetic, morphosyntactic and prosodic features that can be extracted only … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,065 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Arabic Text-To-Speech System Based on Artificial Neural NetworksGhadeer Al-Said, Moussa AbdallahProblem statement: With the rapid advancement in information technology and communications, computer systems increasingly offer the users the opportunity to interact with information through speech. The interest in speech synthesis and in building voices is increasing. Worldwide, speech synthesizers have been developed for many popular languages English, Spanish and French and many researches and developments have been applied to those … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImplementation of Phonetic Context Variable Length Unit Selection Module for Malay Text to SpeechTian-Swee Tan, Sh-HussainProblem statement: The main problem with current Malay Text-To-Speech (MTTS) synthesis system is the poor quality of the generated speech sound due to the inability of traditional TTS system to provide multiple choices of unit for generating more accurate synthesized speech. Approach: This study proposes a phonetic context variable length unit selection MTTS system that is capable of providing more … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImplementation of Color-Blind Aid SystemRuki Harwahyu, Alfa Sheffildi Manaf, Bayu Sri Ananto et al.Color-blind is a physical defect causing patient loses the ability to recognize colors either particular or the whole of them. This disability is problematic in daily life, moreover in some specific areas that require carefulness eyesight. We propose a vision aid kit with improved user experience, such as finger pointer and voice command-and-response. Our work proofs the design and implementation … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 8 Jun 2013 · 7,552 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPitch Analysis of UkuleleSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: The ukulele is a trendy instrument in the present day. It is a member of the guitar family of instruments which employs four nylon or gut strings or four courses of strings. However, a statistical analysis of the pitch of this instrument has not been conducted. To analysis pitch or fundamental frequency of its main cords should be … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 27 Jun 2012 · 7,729 accessesView PDFCite
