A Japanese TTS system based on multiform units and a speech modification algorithm with harmonics reconstruction.

This paper proposes a new text-to-speech (TTS) system that utilizes large numbers of speech segments to produce very natural and intelligible synthetic speech. There are two innovations; new multiform synthesis units and a new speech modification algorithm based on a vocoder that offers harmonics re...
