In this paper, we review our proposed statistical voice conversion approaches to enhancing various types of body transmitted speech captured with non-audible murmur (NAM) micropho...
This paper presents a novel method of enhancing esophageal speech using statistical voice conversion. Esophageal speech is one of the alternative speaking methods for laryngectome...
In this study, we evaluate our proposed methods for enhancing alaryngeal speech based on statistical voice conversion techniques. Voice conversion based on a Gaussian mixture mode...
