Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleTowards the Development of Speaker-Dependent and Speaker-Independent Hidden Markov Model-Based Thai Speech SynthesisSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: Tone distortion in Thai languages can deteriorate not only the intelligibility of speech but also its naturalness. Therefore, the correctness of tone must be carefully taken into account in continuous speech synthesis. The preliminary work confronted this problem when applying HMM-based speech synthesis to Thai. Approach: This study presented a study on speaker-dependent and speaker-independent Hidden Markov Model … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,925 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA FRAMEWORK FOR MULTILINGUAL TEXT- INDEPENDENT SPEAKER IDENTIFICATION SYSTEMSundaradhas Selva Nidhyananthan, Ramapackiam Shantha Selva KumariThis article evaluates the performance of Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) in the context of text independent Multi lingual speaker identification for recorded and synthesized speeches. The type and number of filters in the filter bank, number of samples in each frame of the speech signal and fusion of model scores play a vital role in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 13 Nov 2013 · 7,274 accessesView PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeaker Identification Using Discrete Wavelet TransformShanthini Pandiaraj, K. R. Shankar KumarThis study presents an experimental evaluation of Discrete Wavelet Transforms for use in speaker identification. The features are tested using speech data provided by the CHAINS corpus. This system consists of two stages: Feature extraction stage and the identification stage. Parameters are extracted and used in a closed-set text-independent speaker identification task. In this study the signals are pre-processed and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 22 Sep 2014 · 7,429 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hybrid Speech Recognition System with Hidden Markov Model and Radial Basis Function Neural NetworkJudith Justin, Ila VennilaWe analyze the performance of continuous speech recognition of a speaker independent system using Hidden Markov Model and Artificial Neural Network. Modern speech recognition systems use different combinations of the standard techniques over the basic approach to improve performance accuracy. One such combination which has gained more attention is the hybrid model. Our hybrid system for continuous speech recognition consists … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 5 Sep 2013 · 6,819 accessesView PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Software Agent for Speech Abiding SystemsR. Manoharan, K. Vivekanandan, V. SundaramProblem statement: In order to bring speech into the mainstream of business process an efficient digital signal processor is necessary. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and the butter fly structure symmetry will enable the harwaring easier. With the DSP and software proposed, togetherly established by means of a system, named here as “Speech Abiding System (SAS)”, a software agent, which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,744 accessesView PDF Cite
