Speech Synthesis with Neural Networks
Orhan Karaali, Gerald Corrigan, Ira Gerson
Text-to-speech conversion has traditionally been performed either by concatenating short samples of speech or by using rule-based systems to convert a phonetic representation of sp…

Generating Segment Durations in a Text-To-Speech System: A Hybrid Rule-Based/Neural Network Approach
Gerald Corrigan, Noel Massey, Orhan Karaali
A combination of a neural network with rule firing information from a rule-based system is used to generate segment durations for a text-to-speech system. The system shows a slight…

Variation and Synthetic Speech
Corey Miller, Orhan Karaali, Noel Massey
We describe the approach to linguistic variation taken by the Motorola speech synthesizer. A pan-dialectal pronunciation dictionary is described, which serves as the training data…
