Time-domain concatenative text-to-speech synthesis.
… framework for time-domain concatenative speech synthesis (TDCSS) is presented and evaluated. In this framework, speech segments are extracted from CV, VC, CVC and CC waveforms, and abutted. Speech rhythm is controlled via a single duration parameter, which specifies the initial portion of …

A computational model of prosody for Yorùbá text-to-speech synthesis
… for the Standard Yorùbá (SY) language in the context of computer text-to-speech synthesis applications. The thesis of this research is that it is possible to develop a practical prosody model by using appropriate computational tools and techniques which combines acoustic data with an encoding of …

The effects of part–of–speech tagging on text–to–speech synthesis for resource–scarce languages
… in South Africa is a large-scale endeavour to collect and apply such resources for all eleven of the official South African languages. One of the deliverables of the project is more natural text-to-speech (TTS) voices. Naturalness is primarily determined by prosody and it is shown that many …

17 ways to say yes, exploring tone of voice in augmentative communication and designing new interactions with speech synthesis
For people without speech, voice output communication aids are an assistive technology––but can also be restrictive: whilst Text-To-Speech synthesis can say anything, it affords little choice of how this is spoken. An absence of nuanced tone of voice can inhibit social interaction.<br/><br/>This …
