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...

Trajectory training considering global variance for HMM-based speech synthesis
This paper presents a novel method for training hidden Markov models (HMMs) for use in HMM-based speech synthesis. The primary goal of HMM parameter optimization is to ensure that...

Emotional Speech Synthesis using Subspace Constraints in Prosody
An efficient speech synthesis method that uses subspace constraint in prosody is proposed. Conventional unit selection methods concatenate speech segments stored in database, tha...
