Data Processing: Speech Signal Processing, Linguistics, Language Translation, And Audio Compression/decompression > Speech Signal Processing > Synthesis > Time Element Time ElementTime Element patent applications listed are from June 2005 to current and include Date, Patent Application Number, Patent Title, Patent Abstract summary and are linked to the corresponding patent application page.10/12/06 - 20060229877 - Memory usage in a text-to-speech system In the concatenative text-to-speech system, high compression rate of duration data in the prosodic template is achieved by extracting statistical parameters describing behavior of actual duration values of instances of each given syllable, phoneme, half-phoneme, diphone, triphone or any other basic speech unit employed, and storing only the extracted statistical ... 10/05/06 - 20060224389 - Code conversion method and device, program, and recording medium An audio decoding device (1) generates a first decoded audio from a first code string by a first decoding method, AN audio encoding device (2) judges whether the first decoded audio is an audio signal or a non-audio signal by using the information contained in the first code string and ... 09/14/06 - 20060206334 - Time warping frames inside the vocoder by modifying the residual In one embodiment, the present invention comprises a vocoder having at least one input and at least one output, an encoder comprising a filter having at least one input operably connected to the input of the vocoder and at least one output, a decoder comprising a synthesizer having at least ... 07/13/06 - 20060155544 - Defining atom units between phone and syllable for tts systems A method for identifying common multiphone units to add to a unit inventory for a text-to-speech generator is disclosed. The common multiphone units are units that are larger than a phone, but smaller than a syllable. The method slices each syllable into a plurality of slices. These slices are then ... 04/20/06 - 20060085198 - Singing voice-synthesizing method and apparatus and storage medium There are provided a singing voice-synthesizing method and apparatus capable of performing synthesis of natural singing voices close to human singing voices based on performance data being input in real time. Performance data is inputted for each phonetic unit constituting a lyric, to supply phonetic unit information, singing-starting time point ... 04/20/06 - 20060085197 - Singing voice-synthesizing method and apparatus and storage medium There are provided a singing voice-synthesizing method and apparatus capable of performing synthesis of natural singing voices close to human singing voices based on performance data being input in real time. Performance data is inputted for each phonetic unit constituting a lyric, to supply phonetic unit information, singing-starting time point ... 04/20/06 - 20060085196 - Singing voice-synthesizing method and apparatus and storage medium There are provided a singing voice-synthesizing method and apparatus capable of performing synthesis of natural singing voices close to human singing voices based on performance data being input in real time. Performance data is inputted for each phonetic unit constituting a lyric, to supply phonetic unit information, singing-starting time point ... 04/06/06 - 20060074678 - Prosody generation for text-to-speech synthesis based on micro-prosodic data A prosody modification system for use in text-to-speech includes an input receiving a sequence of prosodic data vectors Pn, measured at time Tn, which samples a sound waveform. A prosody data warping module directly derives new prosodic data vectors Qn from the original data vectors Pn using a function, which ... 03/09/06 - 20060053017 - Method of synthesizing of an unvoiced speech signal The present invention relates to a method of synthesizing a signal comprising th steps of: a) determining of a required pitch bell location on the signal to be synthesized. b) mapping of the required pitch bell location onto an original signal to provide a first pitch bell location, c) randomizing ... 02/02/06 - 20060025999 - Predicting tone pattern information for textual information used in telecommunication systems The techniques described include generating tonal information from a textual entry and, further, applying this tonal information to PINYIN sequences using decision trees. For example, a method of predicting tone pattern information for textual information used in telecommunication systems includes parsing a textual entry into segments and identifying tonal information ... 01/19/06 - 20060015344 - Voice synthesis apparatus and method A plurality of voice segments, each including one or more phonemes are acquired in a time-serial manner, in correspondence with desired singing or speaking words. As necessary, a boundary is designated between start and end points of a vowel phoneme included in any one of the acquired voice segments. Voice ... 01/05/06 - 20060004577 - Distributed speech synthesis system, terminal device, and computer program thereof In the text-to-speech synthesis technique for synthesizing speech from text, this invention enables a terminal device with relatively small computing power to perform speech synthesis based on optimal unit selection. The text-to-speech synthesis procedure of the present invention involves content generation and output; that is, a secondary content including the ... 12/08/05 - 20050273338 - Generating paralinguistic phenomena via markup Examples of paralinguistic events (e.g., breaths, coughs, sighs, etc.) are recorded. A text-to-speech (“TTS”) engine may insert the examples into a stream of synthetic speech using, for example, markup. The synthetic speech may include a combination of normal text and paralinguistic text. ... 07/07/05 - 20050149330 - Speech synthesis system A speech synthesizing system producing a speech of an improved quality of voice by selecting a combination of speech segment most suitable for a synthesis speech unit sequence. The speech synthesizing system comprises a speech segment storage section where speech segment is stored, a speech segment selection information storage section ... ### FreshPatents.com Support |
