Intonation Modelling for Speech Synthesis and Emphasis Preservation

Pierre-Edouard Jean Charles Honnet

Speech-to-speech translation is a framework which recognises speech in an input language, translates it to a target language and synthesises speech in this target language. In such a system, variations in the speech signal which are inherent to natural hum ...
