This thesis describes a novel approach to text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) based on hidden
Markov model (HMM). There have been several attempts proposed to utilize HMM for …

ABSTRACT A Text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis system is the artificial production of human
system. This paper reviews recent research advances in field of speech synthesis with …

A statistical parametric speech synthesis system based on hidden Markov models (HMMs)
has grown in popularity over the last few years. This system simultaneouslymodels …

Speech synthesis is the artificial production of human speech. Attempts to control the quality
of voice of synthesized speech have existed for more than a decade now. Several …

In this paper, we describe an HMM-based speech synthesis system in which spectrum, pitch
and state duration are modeled simultaneously in a unified framework of HMM. In the …

This paper proposes a parameter generation algorithm using a local variance (LV) model in
HMM-based speech synthesis. In the proposed technique, we define the LV as a feature that …

The paper presents the capability of an HMM-based TTS system to produce Bengali speech.
In this synthesis method, trajectories of speech parameters are generated from the trained …

In the synthesis part of a hidden Markov model (HMM) based speech synthesis system
which we have proposed, a speech parameter vector sequence is generated from a …

This paper proposes a novel approach for integrating spectral feature extraction and
acoustic modeling in hidden Markov model (HMM) based speech synthesis. The statistical …

In the present paper, a hidden-semi Markov model (HSMM) based speech synthesis system
is proposed. In a hidden Markov model (HMM) based speech synthesis system which we …
