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 accessIn the keywordsADAPTIVE EXPERT SYSTEM FOR CALCULATION OF REAL EAR INSERTION GAIN FOR DIGITAL HEARING AIDSadagopan Rajkumar, S Muttan, Balaji PillaiThe various gain calculating formulae for digital hearing aids is analyzed for different subjects to find out suitable adaptive gain formula for most successful gain recommendations. The object of the work is to design and develop an adaptive expert system, which could be effectively used to perform screening tests to identify the level of hearing impairment and recommend suitable gain … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 6,977 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFujisaki’s Model of Thai’s Fundamental Frequency Contours with Environmental NoisesSuphattharachai Chomphan, Chutarat ChompunthProblem statement: An important human speech feature is the fundamental frequency (F0) contour which represents the speech prosody. It indicates the naturalness and intelligibility of the speech. Modeling of fundamental frequency contour was an essential procedure in the natural speech processing. In speech communication, environmental noise plays an essential role in damaging the digital communication quality. The study of effects … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 28 Jun 2012 · 7,284 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical Study of High Pitch Delay Resolution Technique for Tonal Speech CodingSuphattharachai Chomphan, Chutarat ChompunthProblem statement: In tonal-language speech, since tone plays important role not only on the naturalness and also the intelligibility of the speech, it must be treated appropriately in a speech coder algorithm. Approach: This study proposes an analytical study of the technique of High Pitch Delay Resolutions (HPDR) applied to the adaptive codebook of core coder of Multi-Pulse based Code … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 23 Jan 2012 · 6,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign 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 accessIn the abstractAnalysis 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 accessIn the abstractTonal Language Speech Compression Based on a Bitrate Scalable Multi-Pulse Based Code Excited Linear Prediction CoderSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: Speech compression is an important issue in the modern digital speech communication. The functionality of bitrates scalability also plays significant role, since the capacity of communication system varies all the time. When considering tonal speech, such as Thai, tone plays important role on the naturalness and the intelligibility of the speech, it must be treated appropriately. Therefore these … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 6,810 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh Pitch Delay Resolution Technique for Tonal Language Speech Coding Based on Multi-Pulse Based Code Excited Linear Prediction AlgorithmSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In spontaneous speech communication, speech coding is an important process that should be taken into account, since the quality of coded speech depends on the efficiency of the speech coding algorithm. As for tonal language which tone plays important role not only on the naturalness and also the intelligibility of the speech, tone must be treated appropriately. Approach: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2011 · 6,729 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFujisaki's Model of Fundamental Frequency Contours for Thai DialectsSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In general, there are a number of rural dialects in Thai. However, four dialects are mainly spoken by Thai people residing in four core region including central, north, northeast and south regions. Recognizing and synthesizing Thai speech with different dialects are consequently difficult. Approach: Prosody is an important factor that must be taken into account, since the prosody … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 19 Nov 2010 · 7,263 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTone 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
