Predicting Prosody from Text for Text-to-Speech SynthesisProsody Modification

Predicting Prosody from Text for Text-to-Speech Synthesis: Prosody Modification [This chapter focuses on the incorporation of duration and intonation information in a speech signal. A new method is proposed for the modification of pitch and duration of a given speech signal using the instants of significant excitation as anchor points. The method is based on exploiting the nature of excitation of speech production mechanism. The performance of the proposed method for prosody modification is compared with some standard methods.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter focuses on the incorporation of duration and intonation information in a speech signal. A new method is proposed for the modification of pitch and duration of a given speech signal using the instants of significant excitation as anchor points. The method is based on exploiting the nature of excitation of speech production mechanism. The performance of the proposed method for prosody modification is compared with some standard methods.]
