Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA Control of Fundamental Frequency Contour for Hidden Markov Model-Based Thai Speech SynthesisSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In the conventional HMM-based speech synthesis system for Thai, there is no control of fundamental frequency control in the synthesis stage. The tone correctness of the synthesized speech is unacceptable due to the imbalance of training data of all tones. Approach: This study proposes a mathematical model to control the F0 contour of the synthesized speech. This control … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 26 Dec 2011 · 7,057 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleFujisaki's Model of Fundamental Frequency Contours for Thai DialectsSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In general, there are a number of rural dialects in Thai. However, four dialects are mainly spoken by Thai people residing in four core region including central, north, northeast and south regions. Recognizing and synthesizing Thai speech with different dialects are consequently difficult. Approach: Prosody is an important factor that must be taken into account, since the prosody … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 19 Nov 2010 · 7,269 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleStructural Modeling of Fundamental Frequency Contour for Thai Expressive SpeechSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: Appropriate modeling of fundamental Frequency (F0) contour for speech is a key factor to preserve the quality of speech prosody. One successful approach has been conducted for tonal language of Mandarin Chinese. It is based on the assumption that the behavioral characteristics of vocal-fold elongation in vibration could be approximated by those of a simple forced vibrating system. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,054 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAnalytical Study on Fundamental Frequency Contours of Thai Expressive Speech Using Fujisaki's 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. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,473 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAnalytical Study of Fujisaki’s Model of Fundamental Frequency Contour for Thai TonesSuphattharachai Chomphan, Chutarat ChompunthProblem statement: Tone of a tonal language is an important feature of a prosodic syllable to identify the meanings of that syllable or that part of word. Ii is very crucial to model the feature related to tone of speech to achieve the most naturalness in speech communication. Approach: The study presents an approach to analyze the model parameters of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 16 Aug 2012 · 6,997 accessesView PDF Cite

The modeling of the dialects’ F0 in a particular language is vital issue that should be taken into account. Four main dialects are spoken in different regions of Thailand including central, north, northeast and south regions. Another important issue is the environmental noises which is often be perceived in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2013 · 6,625 accessesView PDF Cite
