A Hybrid Method Oriented to Concatenative Text-to-Speech Synthesis
(8th European Conference on Speech Communication and Technology. EUROSPEECH 2003 - INTERSPEECH 2003, 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 ...
High quality Spanish restricted-domain TTSoriented to a weather forecast application
(9th European Conference on Speech Communication and Technology. Interspeech'2005 - Eurospeech, 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 ...
Multi-domain text classification for unit selectionText-to-Speech synthesis
(15th International Congress of Phonetic Sciences (ICPhS-15), 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 ...
Validation of an acoustical modelling of emotional expression in Spanish using speech synthesis techniques
(ITRW on Speech and Emotion, Newcastle, 5-7 of September 2000, 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 ...
Adaptación del CTH-URL para la competición Albayzin 2008
(V Jornadas en Tecnología del Habla, Bilbao, del 12-14 de noviembre 2008, 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 ...

(10th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication Associations, Brighton, 6-10 of September 2009, 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 ...
Linguistic and Mixed Excitation Improvements on a HMM-based speech synthesis for Castilian Spanish
(6th ISCA Workshop on Speech Synthesis, Bonn, 22-24 of August 2007, 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 ...

(II Jornadas en Tecnologías del Habla. 2002, 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. ...
Local minimum generation error criterion for hybrid HMM speech synthesis
(10th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication Associations, Brighton, 6-10 of September 2009, 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 ...
