Epoch Synchronous Overlap Add (ESOLA): A Concatenative Synthesis Procedure for Speech (Signals and Communication Technology) (English Edition)

This book presents details of a text-to-speech synthesis procedure using epoch synchronous overlap add (ESOLA), and provides a solution for development of a text-to-speech system using minimum data resources compared to existing solutions. It also examines most natural speech signals including random perturbation in synthesis. The book is intended for students, researchers and industrial practitioners in the field of text-to-speech synthesis.
