This article analyzes and compares influence of different types of spectral and prosodic
features for Czech and Slovak emotional speech classification based on Gaussian mixture …

The paper describes analysis and comparison of formant features comprising the first three
formant positions together with their 3-dB bandwidths and the formant tilts. These features …

This paper concerns limited domain TTS system based on the concatenative method, and
presents an algorithm capable to extract the minimal domain-oriented text corpus from the …

The paper is aimed at determination of formant features (FF) which describe vocal tract
characteristics. It comprises analysis of the first three formant positions together with their …

This paper is focused on reducing the size of speech corpora that are used in the unit-
selection-based TTS systems. The size of a speech corpus influences the system …

This paper deals with expressive speech synthesis in a dialogue. Dialogue acts-discrete
expressive categories-are used for expressivity description. The aim of the work is to create …

This paper describes our experiment with using the Gaussian mixture models (GMM) for
evaluation of the speech quality produced by different methods of speech synthesis and …

In our recent work, a method on how to enumerate differences between various expressive
categories (communicative functions) has been proposed. To improve the overall impact of …
