Data-Driven Techniques in Speech Synthesis (Telecommunications Technology & Applications)
Data-Driven Techniques in Speech Synthesis gives a first review of this new field. All areas of speech synthesis from text are covered, including text analysis, letter-to-sound conversion, prosodic marking and extraction of parameters to drive synthesis hardware. Fuelled by cheap computer processing and memory, the fields of machine learning in particular and artificial intelligence in general are increasingly exploiting approaches in which large databases act as implicit knowledge sou...
The large number of text books on the theory of sound deal principally with periodic disturbances such as harmonic wave trains and standing waves and give scant attention to aperiodic disturbances with clearly defined fronts, conveniently called sound pulses. This monograph attempts to fill this gap by providing an up-to-date description of the theory of sound pulses and its developments. The treatment is based on the thoery of linear partial differential equations of hyperbolic type - a method...

Formen Des Nicht-Verstehens (Kieler Forschungen Zur Sprachwissenschaft, #5)
Jane Passy's highly successful technique first came about through her work with children with severe speech and language disorders. Each of the 49 sounds (phonemes) that make up the English phonological system has a separate hand sign - related to where and how, in the mouth, the sound is made. The signs are logical and based on sound linguistic theory. The consonant sounds are colour-coded as an extra visual cue when doing written work. Cued Articulation and Cued Vowels are two companion texts...
