ABSTRACT
Speech synthesis is the process of generating acoustical signal, represented by a
sequence of vowels, with particular factual and grammatical meaning.
One of the possibilities
for speech synthesis is concatenate synthesis, in which prepared partitions of human speech
are concatenated, by using convenient algorithms.
The use of the EMU database system, in phoneme based speech synthesis has been
reviewed.
This paper continues research of this area.
At the beginning, it analyses the TD
PSOLA algorithm.
Then, it solves the problem of adaptation the EMU system for diphone
based text-to-speech synthesis.
Finally, it introduces the possibility of implementation the
algorithm in the EMU system.
