Vocal effort modeling in neural TTS for improving the intelligibility of synthetic speech in noise
Tuomo Raitio, Petko Petkov, Jiangchuan Li +3
We present a neural text-to-speech (TTS) method that models natural vocal effort variation to improve the intelligibility of synthetic speech in the presence of noise. The method c…
On-device neural speech synthesis
Sivanand Achanta, Albert Antony, Ladan Golipour +8
Recent advances in text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis, such as Tacotron and WaveRNN, have made it possible to construct a fully neural network based TTS system, by coupling the two com…
Whispered and Lombard Neural Speech Synthesis
Qiong Hu, Tobias Bleisch, Petko Petkov +3
It is desirable for a text-to-speech system to take into account the environment where synthetic speech is presented, and provide appropriate context-dependent output to the user.…
Controllable neural text-to-speech synthesis using intuitive prosodic features
Tuomo Raitio, Ramya Rasipuram, Dan Castellani
Modern neural text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis can generate speech that is indistinguishable from natural speech. However, the prosody of generated utterances often represents the av…
Parametric Representation for Singing Voice Synthesis: a Comparative Evaluation
Onur Babacan, Thomas Drugman, Tuomo Raitio +2
Various parametric representations have been proposed to model the speech signal. While the performance of such vocoders is well-known in the context of speech processing, their ex…
