Abstract:

We present a method for improving the perceived naturalness of corpus-based speech synthesizers. It consists in removing pronounced pitch peaks in the original recordings, which typically lead to noticeable discontinuities in the synthesized speech. We perceptually evaluated this method using two concatenative and two HMM-based synthesis systems, and found that using it on the source recordings managed to improve the naturalness of the synthesizers and had no effect on their intelligibility. © 2013 Association for Computational Linguistics.
