Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCorpus 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 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 abstractLOW 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 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
