This paper proposes a unit-selection and waveform concatenation speech synthesis system based on synthetic speech naturalness evaluation. A Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Log Likelihood Ratio (LLR) based synthetic speech naturalness evaluation system was introduced in our previous work. In this paper, the evaluation system is improved in three aspects. Finally, a unit-selection and concatenation...
In this paper, an automatic prosodic phrase boundary labeling method for speech synthesis database is presented. This method can be divided into two stages: training stage and labeling stage. In training stage, context-dependent HMM, which is commonly adopted in the HMM-based parametric speech synthesis, is estimated using the training database with manual prosodic labeling. In labeling stage, the...
Accurate phonetic transcription of speech corpus is critical to high quality speech synthesis. In Mandarin text-to-speech (MTTS) system, one major problem of automatically labeling the database is the heteronym annotation. Because in Mandarin, there are some single-character words or multi-character words have more than one pronunciation. In this paper, a heteronym annotation verification method for...
