Generating fundamental frequency contours for speech synthesis in Yorùbá
(International Speech Communication Association ( ISCA ), 2013)
We present methods for modelling and synthesising fundamental frequency (F0) contours suitable for application in text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis of Yorùbá (an African tone language). These methods are discussed and compared ...
A Target Approximation Intonation Model for Yorùbá TTS
(Interspeech 2014, 2014)
A complete intonation model based on quantitative target approximation
is described for Yor`ub´a text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis.
This model is evaluated analytically and perceptually
and compared to a fundamental frequency ...
Part-of-speech effects on text-to-speech synthesis
(Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa and Mechatronics International Conference, 2010)
One of the goals of text-to-speech (TTS) systems is to produce natural-sounding synthesized speech. Towards this end various natural language processing (NLP) tasks are performed to model the prosodic aspects of the TTS ...
