Applying the harmonic plus noise model in concatenative speech synthesis.

This paper describes the application of the harmonic plus noise model (HNM) for concatenative text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis. In the context of HNM, speech signals are represented as a time-varying harmonic component plus a modulated noise component. The decomposition of a speech signal into these t...
