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...
In this paper, we describe a statistical approach to both an articulatory-to-acoustic mapping and an acoustic-to-articulatory inversion mapping without using phonetic information....
Currently, the statistical framework based on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) plays a relevant role in speech synthesis, while voice conversion systems based on Gaussian Mixture Model...
