Abstract:
Abstract The matter of shadowing natural speech has been discussed in many studies and papers. However, there is very little knowledge of human phonetical convergence to synthesized speech. To find out more about this issue an experiment in the Polish language was conducted. Two types of stimuli were used – natural speech and synthesised speech. Five sets of sentences with various phonetic phenomena in Polish were prepared. A group of twenty persons were recorded which gave the total number of 100 samples for each phenomenon. The summary of results shows convergence in both natural and synthes

Abstract:
A low-resource emotional speech synthesis system for empathetic speech synthesis based on modelling prosody features is presented here. Secondary emotions, identified to be needed for empathetic speech, are modelled and synthesised in this investigation. As secondary emotions are subtle in nature, they are difficult to model compared to primary emotions. This study is one of the few to model secondary emotions in speech as they have not been extensively studied so far. Current speech synthesis research uses large databases and deep learning techniques to develop emotion models. There are many

Abstract:
Neuroprosthetic speech technologies are in development for patients suffering profound paralysis, such as can result from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). These patients would be unable to speak without intervention, but with neurotechnology can be offered the chance to communicate. The nature of the technology introduces a neuroprosthesis that mediates neural activity to generate synthesised speech. How word prediction coheres with speaker intentions requires scrutiny. Some future forms of prostheses, using statistical language models to predict word patterns, could be thought of as parti

Abstract:
The goal of this work is to reconstruct high quality speech from lip motions alone, a task also known as lip-to-speech. A key challenge of lip-to-speech systems is the one-to-many mapping caused by (1) the existence of homophenes and (2) multiple speech variations, resulting in a mispronounced and over-smoothed speech. In this paper, we propose a novel lip-to-speech system that significantly improves the generation quality by alleviating the one-to-many mapping problem from multiple perspectives. Specifically, we incorporate (1) self-supervised speech representations to disambiguate homophenes

Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the recognition of synthesized, compressed speech under helicopter noise vs. ambient noise conditions. Subjects performed an isolated word recognition task for stimuli generated by the VOTAN V-5000A speech synthesizer/recognizer. Results indicated that recognition performance, both in terms of percentage correct and average response time, deteriorated as a function of speech compression and level of noise. Implications of these results for the employment of compressed, synthesized speech warning systems in rotary wing aircraft are discussed.

Abstract:
The research reported in this paper uses novel stimuli to study how speech perception is influenced by information presented to ear and eye. Auditory and visual sources of information (syllables) were synthesized and presented in isolation or in factorial combination. A five-step continuum between the syllables ibal and idal was synthesized along both auditory and visual dimensions, by varying properties of the syllable at its onset. The onsets of the second and third formants were manipulated in the audible speech. For the visible speech, the shape of the lips and the jaw position at the onse

Objectives: To explore the advancements and challenges in the implementation of an AI-enabled Text-to-Speech (TTS) for the Assamese language (an Indo-Aryan language) by discussing technological approaches, linguistic considerations, and its potential applications. Methods: The developed system has been experimented with 40K (approx) collected words of five different categories and tested with different datasets for each model. Four prominent methods (Dictionary, HMM, CNN & G2P) are commonly found used in TTS. With the Grapheme- to- Phoneme (G2P) conversion technique, all phonemes are order

Abstract:
Unit-selection speech-synthesis systems have been proposed. In most of the unit-selection speech-synthesis systems, search units are rather short such as syllables, phonemes and diphones. However, when applied to large speech databases, shorter units produce more voice-waveform candidates and a larger speech database cannot be used without narrow pruning for practical use. Narrow pruning impairs the quality of the synthesized speech. Here the author examined the possibility of using words as search units. Subjective evaluations indicated that 70% of the speech synthesized by the proposed metho

Abstract:
This study examined the effect of listening practice on the ability of young adults to comprehend natural speech and DECtalk synthesized speech by having them perform a sentence verification task over a 5-day period. Results showed that response latencies of participants shortened in a similar fashion to sentences presented in both types of speech across the 5-day period, with latencies remaining significantly longer in response to DECtalk than to natural speech across the days. These results suggest that high-quality synthesized speech, such as DECtalk, can be useful in many human factors app
