Pitch-synchronous waveform processing techniques for text-to-speech synthesis using diphones
Abstract
Abstract We review in a common framework several algorithms that have been proposed recently, in order to improve the voice quality of a text-to-speech synthesis based on acoustical units concatenation (Charpentier and Moulines, 1988; Moulines and Charpentier, 1988; Hamon et al., 1989). These algorithms rely on a pitch-synchronous overlap-add (PSOLA) approach for modifying the speech prosody and concatenating speech waveforms. The modifications of the speech signal are performed either in the frequency domain (FD-PSOLA), using the Fast Fourier Transform, or directly in the time domain (TD-PSOLA), depending on the length of the window used in the synthesis process. The frequency domain approach is capable of a great flexibility in modifying the spectral characteristics of the speech signal, while the time domain approach provides very efficient solutions for the real time implementation of synthesis systems. We also discuss the different kinds of distortions involved in these different algorithms.

In the citing paper
“Standard time-domain TSM methods, such as the synchronized overlap-add (SOLA) [15], the waveform-similarity overlap-add [16], and the pitch-synchronous overlap-add [17] techniques, are considered to provide high-quality TSM for quasi-harmonic signals.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
