Paper describe the TTS system using Concatenative synthesis techniques for Marathi language with unit selection speech databases and discuss the issues relevant to the development of a Marathi speech synthesizer using different choice of units: words, phonemes, syllables as a database. The most important qualities of a speech synthesis system are naturalness and intelligibility. We Synthesize the...
This paper describes the work based on concatenative text-tospeech synthesis system. It discusses a few perceptual and spectrogram experiments conducted on Marathi Voices (Spoken in Maharashtra, India). Marathi speech synthesizer is developed using different choice of units: words, phonemes as a database. We have synthesized the Marathi text and conducted the perceptual tests, as a result, (1) 74%...
In this paper, we present the concatenative text-to-speech system and discuss the issues relevant to the development of a Marathi speech synthesizer using different choice of units: words, phonemes as a database. Quality of the synthesizer with different unit size indicates that the word synthesizer performs better than the phoneme synthesizer. The most important qualities of a speech synthesis system...
In this paper we propose a technique for a syllable based speech synthesis system. While syllable based synthesizers produce better sounding speech than diphone and phone, the coverage of all syllables is a non-trivial issue. We address the issue of coverage of syllables through approximating the syllable when the required syllable is not found. To verify our hypothesis, we conducted perceptual studies...
The relationship between unit size and territory quality and size was examined in variegated, superb and red-backed fairy-wrens in an area in which the birds’ territories overlapped extensively. Variegated fairy-wrens had the least number of paired birds and the largest mean unit size. More than half of the superb and red-backed fairy-wrens occurred in pairs. Territory size did not differ between...
