The paper describes the optimisation of Viterbi search used in unit selection TTS, since with a large speech corpus necessary to achieve a high level of naturalness, the performan...
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...
The goal of the work described here is to limit the computation needed in unit selection Viterbi search for text-to-speech synthesis. The broader goal is to improve speech quality...
The paper presents a unit selection-based speech synthesis approach for mandarin Chinese. Unit selection-based approach generates speech by selecting proper units from a speech co...
One problem in concatenative speech synthesis is how to incorporate prosodic factors in the unit selection. Imposing a predicted prosodic target is error-prone and does not benefi...
