Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleResearch on Deep Neural Network for Afaan-Oromo Language Text-to-Speech SynthesisDiriba Gichile Rundasa, Arulmurugan Ramu, Teshome Debushe Adugna et al.Text-to-speech synthesis is the automatic translation of unlimited natural language sentences from Text to spoken form that closely mimics the spoken form of the same Text by a native speaker of the language. The purpose of a Texttext-to-speech synthesizer is to generate comprehensible, natural signalling human voice from text transcriptions. Despite the wide range of potential applications for Text-to-speech systems, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 5 · 14 Apr 2025 · 7,346 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparative Evaluation of Phone Duration Models for Greek Emotional SpeechAlexandros Lazaridis, Vasiliki Bourna, Nikos FakotakisProblem statement: In this study we cope with the task of phone duration modeling for Greek emotional speech synthesis. Approach: Various well established machine learning techniques are applied for this purpose to an emotional speech database consisting of five archetypal emotions. The constructed phone duration prediction models are built on phonetic, morphosyntactic and prosodic features that can be extracted only … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,065 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCorpus 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 keywordsAn 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 keywordsImplementation 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 keywordsA 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
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 accessAll words, across the recordComparison of Approaches for Predicting Break Indices in Mandarin Speech SynthesisShao Yan-qiu, Zhao Yong-zhen, Han Ji-qing, Liu TingThis study adopts a large-scale corpus with five-tier break indices annotated according to C-TOBI. Based on it, several approaches, N-gram, Markov model and decision tree learning are applied to predict break indices automatically for unrestricted mandarin text. These approaches differ mutually not only in model, but also on features and even part-of-speech tag size. A deep comparison and analysis among … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,211 accessesView PDFCite
