A new method is proposed to jointly estimate the shape parameter of a glottal model and its time position in a voiced segment. We show that, the idea of phase flatness (or phase ...
In voice analysis, the parameters estimation of a glottal model, an analytic description of the deterministic component of the glottal source, is a challenging question to assess ...
A major factor which causes a deterioration in speech quality in HMM-based speech synthesis is the use of a simple delta pulse signal to generate the excitation of voiced speech. ...
Abstract. After the years of hesitation the conservative Slovak telecommunication market seems to become conscious of the need of voice driven services. In the last year, all the t...
The consortium ECESS1 (European Center of Excellence for Speech Synthesis) has set up a framework for evaluation of software modules and tools relevant for speech synthesis. Till ...
