Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of Multi-Pulse Based Code Excited Linear Predictive Speech Coder with Bitrate Scalable Tool over Additive White Gaussian Noise and Rayleigh Fading ChannelsSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In the modern speech communication technology, the speech coding with bitrate scalability was needed. However, various types of noises in the communication channels cause damages in the transmitted information especially speech data. Tonal-language speech was also affected by this situation. Approach: Based on the high pitch delay resolution technique, the MPCELP speech coding was proposed over the environment … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 6 Nov 2010 · 7,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeech Enhancement Using Minimum Mean-Square Error Amplitude Estimators Under Normal and Generalized Gamma DistributionChabane Boubakir, Daoud BerkaniProblem statement: In this study, DFT-based speech enhancement via Minimum Mean-Square Error (MMSE) amplitude estimators was considered. Approach: Several variants of the basic approach (MMSE-STSA) have been proposed over the years to address certain shortcomings, chiefly the quality of the remnant noise and its trade-off with speech distortion. In this study, we presented a comparative study between the MMLSA and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProsody 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 abstractStructural 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 · 7,050 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorpus Design for Malay Corpus-based Speech Synthesis SystemTian-Swee Tan, Sh-HussainProblem statement: Speech corpus is one of the major components in corpus-based synthesis. The quality and coverage in speech corpus will affect the quality of synthesis speech sound. Approach: This study proposes a corpus design for Malay corpus-based speech synthesis system. This includes the study of design criteria in corpus-based speech synthesis, Malay corpus based database design and the concatenation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 8,302 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn 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 abstractImplementation 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 abstractPerformance Enhancement on Voice using VAD Algorithm and Cepstral AnalysisT. Ravichandran, K. D. SamyThe Transport of Voice Over Network has been existing for a long time. Due to the bad quality of speech and absence of useful service, it has not yet been widely spread. The benefits of reduced cost and bandwidth savings of carrying voice over data network is associated with Quality of Service (QoS). Many different techniques and protocols are used … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2006 · 6,584 accessesView PDFCite
