Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleImprovement of Tone Intelligibility for Average-Voice-Based Thai Speech SynthesisSuphattharachai Chomphan, Chutarat ChompunthProblem statement: Tone intelligibility in speech synthesis is an important attribute that should be taken into account. The tone correctness of the synthetic speech is degraded considerably in the average-voice-based HMM-based Thai speech synthesis. The tying mechanism in the decision tree based context clustering without appropriate criterion causes unexpected tone neutralization. Incorporation of the phrase intonation to the context clustering … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 24 Jan 2012 · 6,969 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleDesign of Tree Structure in Context Clustering Process of Hidden Markov Model-Based Thai Speech SynthesisSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In HMM-based Thai speech synthesis, the tone degradation due to the imbalance of training data of all tones. Some distortion of syllable duration is obviously noticeable when the system is trained with a small amount of data. These problems cause the decrement in naturalness and intelligibility of the synthesized speech. Approach: This study proposes an approach to improve … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 14 Jan 2012 · 6,955 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleThai Speech Phonology for Development of Speech Synthesis: A ReviewSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: To implementation of the Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based Thai speech synthesis system, it is necessary to understand the phonology system for a language. Without the phonological information, the contextual factors of tree-based context clustering cannot be completed. Approach: The existing speech units in Thai are studied thoroughly so that the synthesis system can provide all of them in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 27 Dec 2011 · 6,960 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA 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 accessPhrase in the titleAnalysis of Decision Trees in Context Clustering of Hidden Markov Model Based Thai Speech SynthesisSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In Thai speech synthesis using Hidden Markov model (HMM) based synthesis system, the tonal speech quality is degraded due to tone distortion. This major problem must be treated appropriately to preserve the tone characteristics of each syllable unit. Since tone brings about the intelligibility of the synthesized speech. It is needed to establish the tone questions and other … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 7 Mar 2011 · 6,844 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleThai Speech Coding Based On Conjugate-Structure Algebraic Code Excited Linear Prediction AlgorithmSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In mobile communication, speech coding aims at compressing the speech with lowest bitrate and highest quality for standard languages such as English, German and French. As for other languages with different uttering styles, the encoded speech quality is not guaranteed at the same bitrate. The appropriate evaluation should be performed to develop the speech quality by applying some … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2011 · 7,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleTone Question of Tree Based Context Clustering for Hidden Markov Model Based Thai Speech SynthesisSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In HMM-based Thai speech synthesis, tone is an important issue that brings about the intelligibility of the synthesized speech. Tone distortion resulted from imbalance of the training data should be appropriately treated. Approach: This study described an HMM-based speech synthesis system for Thai language. In the system, spectrum, pitch and state duration are modeled simultaneously in a unified … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 9 Nov 2010 · 6,820 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffects of Noises on the Analysis of Fundamental Frequency Contours for Thai SpeechSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In speech communication, noises from surrounding environments affect the communication quality with various aspects. The received speech quality should be analyzed to see how the important noises reduce the speech quality so that we can eliminate them in an appropriate way. Approach: This study presents a study on the analysis of the noise effects on Thai speech. Four … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 6,827 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSpeech 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
