This paper introduces Emilia, a speech corpus created to build a female voice in Spanish spoken in Buenos Aires for the Aromo text-to-speech system. Aromo is a unit selection text …
Nowadays, unit selection based text-to-speech technology is the mainstream approach for near natural speech synthesis systems. However, this is achieved at the expense of raised …
This paper presents a new method for the reduction of an existing speech database in order to be used for domain independent embedded unit selection text-to-speech synthesis. The …
