Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRestricted 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 abstractEffects of Noises on Fujisaki’s Model of Fundamental Frequency Contours for Thai DialectsSuphattharachai Chomphan, Chutarat ChompunthProblem statement: Modeling of fundamental frequency (F0) contour plays an important role on the natural speech processing, since F0 is an important speech feature defining the human speech prosody. In Thai, there are four main dialects spoken by Thai people residing in four core region including central, north, northeast and south regions. Environmental noises are also plays an important role … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 25 Aug 2012 · 6,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Noises on Fundamental Frequency Extraction Using Cepstral Analysis for Thai DialectsSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: The fundamental frequency (F0) of the human speech corresponds to the vibration frequency of the human vocal chords. To extract the F0 from a speech utterance, one approach is based on the Cepstral analysis. In Thai, there are four main dialects spoken by Thai people residing in four core region including central, north, northeast and south regions. Environmental … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 28 Jul 2012 · 6,908 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeech Compression of Thai Dialects with Low-Bit-Rate Speech CodersSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In modern speech communication at low bit rate, speech coding deteriorates the characteristics of the coded speech significantly. Considering the dialects in Thai, the coding quality of four main dialects spoken by Thai people residing in four core region including central, north, northeast and south regions has not been studied. Approach: This study presents a comparative study of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 14 Jul 2012 · 6,865 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFujisaki’s Model of Thai’s Fundamental Frequency Contours with Environmental NoisesSuphattharachai Chomphan, Chutarat ChompunthProblem statement: An important human speech feature is the fundamental frequency (F0) contour which represents the speech prosody. It indicates the naturalness and intelligibility of the speech. Modeling of fundamental frequency contour was an essential procedure in the natural speech processing. In speech communication, environmental noise plays an essential role in damaging the digital communication quality. The study of effects … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 28 Jun 2012 · 7,284 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Environmental Noises on Fundamental Frequency Contours of Thai DialectsSuphattharachai Chomphan, Chutarat ChompunthProblem statement: Fundamental Frequency (F0) is an important speech feature defining the human speech prosody. It is the resultant of the vibration of human’s vocal chords in speech production. In Thai, there are four main dialects spoken by Thai people residing in four core region including central, north, northeast and south regions. Environmental noises are also playing an important role … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 9 Mar 2012 · 7,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical Study of High Pitch Delay Resolution Technique for Tonal Speech CodingSuphattharachai Chomphan, Chutarat ChompunthProblem statement: In tonal-language speech, since tone plays important role not only on the naturalness and also the intelligibility of the speech, it must be treated appropriately in a speech coder algorithm. Approach: This study proposes an analytical study of the technique of High Pitch Delay Resolutions (HPDR) applied to the adaptive codebook of core coder of Multi-Pulse based Code … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 23 Jan 2012 · 6,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBitrate Scalability for Multi-Pulse Based Code Excited Linear Prediction Speech CoderSuphattharachai Chomphan, Chutarat ChompunthProblem statement: The bitrate scalability is an important functionality that is defined in the Moving Picture Expert Group (MPEG-4) requirements. Since the traffic in a communication network varies with time, the capability of varying the bitrate of a speech coder is needed. Approach: This study proposes an approach to vary the bitrate by using a bitrate scalable tool which is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 14 Jan 2012 · 7,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeech Compression for Noise-Corrupted Thai DialectsSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: Dialects of Thai are quite different in the speaking styles. Environmental noises play an important role in corrupting the communication speech quality. Two factors affect the coded speech in the present speech communication. It is necessary to investigate how the two factors influence on the speech compression. Approach: In this study, the Multi-Pulse based Code Excited Linear Predictive … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 9 Jan 2012 · 7,238 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA 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 · 7,053 accessesView PDFCite
