A Hybrid Method Oriented to Concatenative Text-to-Speech Synthesis
Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Alías Pujol, Francesc; Sanchís Bernabeu, Francisco Javier; Melenchón Maldonado, Javier (2003-09-01)In this paper we present a speech synthesis method for diphonebased text-to-speech systems. Its main goal is to achieve prosodic modifications that result in more natural-sounding synthetic speech. This ... -
Adaptación del CTH-URL para la competición Albayzin 2008
Monzo Sánchez, Carlos; Formiga Fanals, Lluís; Adell, Jordi; Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Alías Pujol, Francesc; Socoró Carrié, Joan Claudi (2008-11)En esta comunicación describimos el sistema de síntesis de voz presentado a la competición Albayzin 2008. Es un sistema que sigue un esquema clásico de concatenación de unidades basado en corpus. Cabe ... -
La evolución de la Síntesis del Habla en Ingeniería La Salle
Alías Pujol, Francesc; Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi (2002-12-16)Este artículo resume la trayectoria del grupo de Tecnologías del Habla de Ingeniería La Salle (Universitat Ramon Llull) en el marco de la investigación y el desarrollo de sistemas de síntesis del habla. ... -
GTM-URL Contribution to the INTERSPEECH 2009 Emotion Challenge
Planet García, Santiago; Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Socoró Carrié, Joan Claudi; Monzo Sánchez, Carlos; Adell, Jordi (2009-09)This paper describes our participation in the INTERSPEECH 2009 Emotion Challenge [1]. Starting from our previous experience in the use of automatic classification for the validation of an expressive ... -
High quality Spanish restricted-domain TTSoriented to a weather forecast application
Alías Pujol, Francesc; Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Formiga Fanals, Lluís; Gonzalvo Fructuoso, Xavier; Monzo Sánchez, Carlos; Sevillano Domínguez, Xavier (2005-09-04)A restricted domain text-to-speech system oriented to a weatherforecast application is presented. This TTS system is embed-ded in a multimedia interactive service accessible from differ-ent media, such ... -
HMM-based Spanish speech synthesis using CBR as F0 estimator
Gonzalvo Fructuoso, Xavier; Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Socoró Carrié, Joan Claudi; Alías Pujol, Francesc; Monzo Sánchez, Carlos (2007-05)Hidden Markov Models based text-to-speech (HMM-TTS) syn thesis is a technique for generating speech from trained statisti cal models where spectrum, pitch and durations of basic speech units are modelled ... -
Linguistic and Mixed Excitation Improvements on a HMM-based speech synthesis for Castilian Spanish
Gonzalvo Fructuoso, Xavier; Socoró Carrié, Joan Claudi; Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Monzo Sánchez, Carlos; Martínez Marroquín, Elisa (Proceedings of the 6th ISCA Workshop on Speech Synthesis, 2007-08)HiddenMarkov Models based text-to-speech(HMM-TTS)synthesis is one of the techniques for generating speech from trained statistical models where spectrum and prosody of basic speech units are modelled ... -
Local minimum generation error criterion for hybrid HMM speech synthesis
Gonzalvo Fructuoso, Xavier; Gutkin, Alexander; Socoró Carrié, Joan Claudi; Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Taylor, Paul (2009-09)This paper presents an HMM-driven hybrid speech synthesis approach in which unit selection concatenative synthesis is used to improve the quality of the statistical system using a Local Minimum Generation ... -
Multi-domain text classification for unit selectionText-to-Speech synthesis
Alías Pujol, Francesc; Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Barnola Augé, Pere (2003-08-03)This paper presents a new approach for designing aconcatenative text-to-speech (TTS) system based onmulti-domain unit selection. The method achievesgood synthetic quality with reasonable ... -
Multi-domain Text-to-Speech Synthesis by Automatic Text Classification
Alías Pujol, Francesc; Socoró Carrié, Joan Claudi; Sevillano Domínguez, Xavier; Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Gonzalvo Fructuoso, Xavier (2006-09-17)This paper describes a multi-domain text-to-speech (MD-TTS)synthesis strategy for generating speech among different domainsand so increasing the flexibility of high quality TTS systems. Tothat ... -
Validation of an acoustical modelling of emotional expression in Spanish using speech synthesis techniques
Iriondo Sanz, Ignasi; Guaus Termens, Roger; Rodríguez, Angel; Lázaro, Patricia; Montoya, Norminanda; Blanco, Josep Maria; Bernadas, Dolors; Oliver, Josep Manel; Tena Parera, Daniel; Longhi, Ludovico (2000-09)This paper describes the methodology used for validating the results obtained in a study about acoustical modelling of emotional expression in Castilian Spanish. We have obtained a set of rules that ...
