This paper introduces a new optimization technique for moving segment labels (phone and subphonetic) to optimize statistical parametric speech synthesis models. The choice of obje...
In this paper we revisit some basic configuration choices of HMMbased speech synthesis, such as waveform sampling rate, auditory frequency warping scale and the logarithmic scali...
The paper deals with the process of designing a phonetically and prosodically rich speech corpus for unit selection speech synthesis. The attention is given mainly to the recordin...
Speech synthesis techniques have already reached a high level of naturalness. However, they are often evaluated on text reading tasks. New applications will request for conversatio...

Articulatory synthesis of speech and singing aims for modeling the production process of speech and singing as human-like or natural as possible. The state of the art is described ...
