Tacotron: Towards End-to-End Speech Synthesis
Yuxuan Wang, RJ Skerry-Ryan, Daisy Stanton +11
A text-to-speech synthesis system typically consists of multiple stages, such as a text analysis frontend, an acoustic model and an audio synthesis module. Building these component…
AutoMOS: Learning a non-intrusive assessor of naturalness-of-speech
Brian Patton, Yannis Agiomyrgiannakis, Michael Terry +3
Developers of text-to-speech synthesizers (TTS) often make use of human raters to assess the quality of synthesized speech. We demonstrate that we can model human raters' mean opin…
Fast, Compact, and High Quality LSTM-RNN Based Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesizers for Mobile Devices
Heiga Zen, Yannis Agiomyrgiannakis, Niels Egberts +2
Acoustic models based on long short-term memory recurrent neural networks (LSTM-RNNs) were applied to statistical parametric speech synthesis (SPSS) and showed significant improvem…
Using instantaneous frequency and aperiodicity detection to estimate F0 for high-quality speech synthesis
Hideki Kawahara, Yannis Agiomyrgiannakis, Heiga Zen
This paper introduces a general and flexible framework for F0 and aperiodicity (additive non periodic component) analysis, specifically intended for high-quality speech synthesis a…
