چکیده |
The unit selection speech synthesis method is accounted of concatenative speech synthesis methods that it produces
more natural quality speech than other approaches. So developing and improvement of this approach attracts great
attraction to produce more natural output speech. Synthesis unit is one of important factors that have great effect on
output quality of synthesizer systems. Using phones as synthesis unit can cause more natural output, however the
discontinuity at the boundaries of concatenated phonemes can be potentially increased in output speech. In this paper,
we proposed using unseen unit generation idea to eliminate discontinuities at phoneme boundaries when phone
instances are used as synthesis units. In proposed method, existence discontinuities at phoneme boundaries in output
speech are firstly found and then if it possible, one of adjacent phonemes of these boundaries are replaced by a suitable
unseen unit. To synthesizing every unseen unit, left half phone of one existence instance of corpus are merged by right
half phone of other existence instance. Perceptual Evaluations show quality output improvement due to decreasing
discontinuities at boundaries. |
