Speaker similarity evaluation of foreign-accented speech synthesis using HMM-based speaker adaptation
This paper describes a speaker discrimination experiment in which native English listeners were presented with natural and synthetic speech stimuli in English and were asked to ju...

Probablistic modelling of F0 in unvoiced regions in HMM based speech synthesis
HMM based synthesis has attracted great interest due to its compact and flexible modelling of spectral and prosodic parameters. In this approach, short term spectra, fundamental ...

Admissible stopping in viterbi beam search for unit selection in concatenative speech synthesis
Corpus-based concatenative speech synthesis is very popular these days due to its highly natural speech quality. The amount of computation required in the run time, however, is of...

Using a pitch-synchronous residual codebook for hybrid HMM/frame selection speech synthesis
This paper proposes a method to improve the quality delivered by statistical parametric speech synthesizers. For this, we use a codebook of pitch-synchronous residual frames, so a...

Optimizing Phonetic Encoding for Viennese Unit Selection Speech Synthesis
While developing lexical resources for a particular language variety (Viennese), we experimented with a set of 5 different phonetic encodings, termed phone sets, used for unit sel...
