Text‐to‐Speech Synthesis Development
Speech synthesis, as defined in The International Encyclopaedia of Linguistics , “is the automatic generation of speech using linguistically salient acoustic or articulatory properties, or spoken units that are selected and controlled using computational commands” (Clark & Henton, 2003). Machines that synthesized speech (synthesizers) were unveiled first in 1939 at the New York World's Fair. In the following 50 years, early vocoder synthesis was …
Where is Female Synthetic Speech
There is widespread, immediate and enduring demand for high quality, natural, intelligible synthetic female voices in the expanding speech technology industry. Yet synthetic female voices are scarce, both in parametric text-to-speech (TTS) systems and in concatenative ones. Current female synthetic speech largely lacks naturalness, pleasantness and tolerability. Some acoustic specifications of female voices that are relevant to synthesis are disc…
American English and the International Phonetic Alphabet
American English and the International Phonetic Alphabet
Pitch dynamism in female and male speech
One vowel's life (and death?) across languages
Fact and fiction in the description of female and male pitch
Individual symbols and diacritics
In preparation for the IPA Kiel Convention in 1989, this report summarizes preliminary discussions of possible improvements and changes to individual symbols and diacritics in the International Phonetic Alphabet. It details responses to a questionnaire sent out on 22 October 1988. Specific questions were suggested by a number of sources: my own paper (Henton 1987), reactions to that paper, and from discussions with other phoneticians. The questio…
Developing computerized transcription exercises for American English
Acquiring the skill of phonetic transcription from orthographic text is a widespread technique included in all undergraduate curricula for phonetics, linguistics and speech science. It is an ability which is also frequently expected in students of modern languages and English. Any instructor who has been faced with a pile of thirty and more transcriptions to mark knows what a laborious task this is, requiring a lot of close examination of fine de…
The IPA consonant chart
For some time now it has been clear that the International Phonetic Alphabet consonant chart needs to be carefully re-examined, with a view to its intended provision and possible revision. This article appears as part of the current drive (see also Ladefoged (1987a)) to solicit suggestions for the improvement or revision of the chart, from all the manifold users of the IPA alphabet. The focus here is on the consonant chart, for while the represen…
