Thierry Dutoit

An Introduction to Text-to-Speech Synthesis (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first book to treat two areas of speech synthesis: natural language processing and the inherent problems it presents for speech synthesis; and digital signal processing, with an emphasis on the concatenative approach. The text guides the reader through the material in a step-by-step easy-to-follow way. The book will be of interest to researchers and students in phonetics and speech communication, in both academia and industry.
