Control of spectral dynamics in concatenative speech synthesis.

Control of spectral dynamics in concatenative speech synthesis.

Current speech synthesis methods based on the concatenation of waveform units can produce highly intelligible speech capturing the identity of a particular speaker. However, the quality of concatenated speech often suffers from discontinuities between the acoustic units, due to contextual difference...
