This paper introduces a HMM-based speech synthesis system which uses a new method for the Separation of Vocal-tract and LiljencrantsFant model plus Noise (SVLN). The glottal sourc...
The Glottal Source is an important component of voice as it can be considered as the excitation signal to the voice apparatus. Nowadays, new techniques of speech processing such a...
A major factor which causes a deterioration in speech quality in HMM-based speech synthesis is the use of a simple delta pulse signal to generate the excitation of voiced speech. ...
