Abstract(in English) | Word synthesis by concatenating syllabic components method is proposed as a speech synthesis method. As a problem of this technique, large amount of recording words is needed when we make an arbitrary general noun. Then, all speech ideally can be made by doing tree-based clustering for collected database. However, very low quality speech is generated sometimes. In this paper, our aim is to improvement of the speech quality by doing tree-based clustering with two different models. The mean opinion score (MOS) and the ABX test are used for the evaluation of the speech quality. As a result of the MOS, the standard model was obtained 1.7 and the enhanced model was obtained 2.5. Moreover, as a result of an ABX test, the standard model was obtained 20% and the enhanced model was obtained 80%. |
