Hodnocení změny hlasu v TTS systému s kepstrálním popisem
Přibil, Jiří ; Přibilová, Anna
Voice conversion, i.e. modification of a speech signal to sound as if spoken by a different speaker, finds its use in speech synthesis with a new voice without necessity of a new database. It is very useful in special aids for blind and partially sighted people, e.g. Braille notetaker based on the Pocket PC. This paper evaluates voice conversion implemented in the Czech and Slovak text-to-speech (TTS) system based on cepstral description of speech database using the source-filter speech model.
Realizace TTS jako systémového ovladače pro Microsoft Speech API
Přibilová, Anna ; Přibil, Jiří
The paper deals with implementation of voice modification in the Czech and Slovak text-to-speech /TTS/ system as Microsoft speech application programming interface /MS SAPI/ TTS engine based on diphone inventory. The original male voice database serves for creation of three derived databases with modification factors given by the average formant and pitch shift between male, female and childish voices. The source-filter model as well as the harmonic speech model, both with cepstral description, were used.
Modifikace obálky řečového spektra
Přibilová, Anna
The paper is aimed at speech spectrum envelope modification for voice conversion. Spline interpolation using digital filtering techniques with cubic B-splines is applied to speech spectrum envelope determination. Modification of the determined spectrum envelope is performed as the formant shift by a constant factor corresponding to the mean formant shift between male and female voices. Together with pitch modification by a constant factor, voice conversion from male to female and vice versa is performed.
