F0 is an acoustic feature that varies largely from one speaker to another. F0 is characterized by a discontinuity in the transition between voiced and unvoiced sounds that present...

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...
Abstract--Voice conversion can be formulated as finding a mapping function which transforms the features of the source speaker to those of the target speaker. Gaussian mixture mode...

This paper takes phonetic information into account for data alignment in text-independent voice conversion. Hidden Markov Models are used for representing the phonetic structure o...

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...
Voice conversion can be reduced to a problem to find a transformation function between the corresponding speech sequences of two speakers. Perhaps the most voice conversions meth...
Statistical voice conversion is very effective for enhancing body transmitted speech recorded with Non-Audible Murmur (NAM) microphone. In this method, a probabilistic model to co...
Voice conversion has become more and more important in speech technology, but most of current works have to use parallel utterances of both source and target speaker as the traini...
Abstract. This article describes techniques of vocal forgery able to affect automatic speaker recognition system in a forensic context. Vocal forgery covers two main aspects: voice...

In this paper, we propose to use Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for voice conversion. We have exploited the mapping abilities of ANN to perform mapping of spectral features of ...
