To solve this problem, an algorithm is proposed in this paper to perform co-articulation synthesis by modification of the speech transitional energy spectrum ...

Co-articulation is the phenomenon of co- occurrence of two or more than two phonemes features affected by front and behind phonemes during articulation.

The three approaches commonly used for automatic speech production are; formant synthesis [1] concatenative synthesis [2] and articulatory synthesis [3] . In ...

When synthesizing new speech, a series of appropriate keyframes is constructed which are interpolated using the corresponding trained coarticulation rules.

Apr 16, 2013 · A central difficulty is that speech sounds are coarticulated, i.e., the articulatory and acoustic realization of phonemes depends on the context ...

The most common method for automatic phoneme alignment is called “forced alignment.” In this method, recognition of the speech signal is performed using an HMM, ...

Speech Synthesis. In a diphone, we model this coarticulation by including the transition to the next phone inside the unit. The diphone [w-eh], for example ...

A multi-speaker formant synthesizer based on parameter concatenation that can help to study and understand the speaker variability problem.

Articulatory synthesis, which attempts to model the human speech production system directly. Formant synthesis, which models the pole frequencies of speech ...

This paper proposes a scheme of speech-driven lips and tongue animation synthesis in a speaker-independent manner. Directional relative displacement (DRD) ...
