Removing linear phase mismatches in concatenative speech synthesis.

Many current text-to-speech (TTS) systems are based on the concatenation of acoustic units of recorded speech. While this approach is believed to lead to higher intelligibility and naturalness than synthesis-by-rule, it has to cope with the issues of concatenating acoustic units that have been recor...
