Analysis of pitch contour of Thai tone using Fujisaki's model

Thai speech synthesis by rule is developed using cepstral parameters. To synthesize the pitch contour of Thai tone, we applied an extension of Fujisaki's model for tonal languages. According to our study on pitch contour of five Thai tones using this model, the result shows that to synthesize t...

Description
Summary:Thai speech synthesis by rule is developed using cepstral parameters. To synthesize the pitch contour of Thai tone, we applied an extension of Fujisaki's model for tonal languages. According to our study on pitch contour of five Thai tones using this model, the result shows that to synthesize the pitch contour of these five Thai tones, the command pattern for the local F 0 components needs both positive and negative commands.
