Naturalness in TTS systems plays a big role in the acceptability of the TTS synthesis outputs. Rhythm, intonation, stress pattern, pitch and duration (timing) are the most important parameters which effect naturalness of ...

This master thesis gives a way to analyze speech wavefore in order to store the speech at a lower bit rate ratner than the classical ways. During the analysis Linear Predictive Coding is used where speech is represented ...

This study outlines a method for transmitting speech using a relatively low bit rate, in comparison to traditional methods. The method is based on the theory of linear Prediction. In this approach speech is represented by ...
