Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) When current speech synthesis researchers refer to Vocoder in their papers, they are most likely referring to Neural vocoder, which generates high-quality speech from parameters by using deep neural networks (DNN). If so, the "golden spirit" of a high-quality vocoder, which is to synthesize high-quality speech rather than play the role of speech encoding, has been passed on to the Neural vocoder generation. This paper presents the core algorithms in the waveform generation of traditional vocoder, which will probably be lost in the future, and prospects for how this body of knowledge can still be useful in speech research.
