Text-to-Speech Systems and Algorithms
"Text-to-Speech Systems and Algorithms" “Text-to-Speech Systems and Algorithms” is a comprehensive technical guide that meticulously navigates the landscape of modern speech synthesis. From the foundations of classical TTS architectures to cutting-edge neural techniques, this book unpacks the scientific principles and engineering innovations underpinning the field. It closely examines the historical evolution of text-to-speech, deconstructs TTS pipelines into their core components, and explores the intersection of linguistic processing, acoustic modeling, and system optimization, presenting both theoretical frameworks and practical benchmarks. Delving deeply into areas such as linguistic preprocessing, acoustic and prosodic modeling, and advanced neural architectures, the book covers critical topics including text normalization, grapheme-to-phoneme conversion, prosody generation, and expressive speech synthesis. Chapters dedicated to speaker modeling, voice cloning, and multi-speaker synthesis address the latest advancements and ethical considerations, including bias mitigation and privacy preservation. The book further explores evaluation standards, deployment strategies for cloud and edge, as well as robust security and compliance measures for real-world applications. Intended for researchers, engineers, and practitioners, this volume goes beyond algorithms to discuss deployment, scalability, user integration, and future directions of TTS technology. Case studies highlight applications across diverse sectors—from assistive technologies and virtual agents to media production—while dedicated sections identify open challenges, emerging multimodal use cases, and invaluable open-source resources. “Text-to-Speech Systems and Algorithms” stands as an authoritative reference for mastering both the foundations and the forward edge of synthetic speech.
Information Systems for Indian Languages
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Information Systems for Indian Languages, ICISIL 2011, held in Patiala, India, in March 2011. The 63 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 126 paper submissions (full papers as well as poster papers) and 25 demo submissions. The papers address all current aspects on localization, e-governance, Web content accessibility, search engine and information retrieval systems, online and offline OCR, handwriting recognition, machine translation and transliteration, and text-to-speech and speech recognition - all with a particular focus on Indic scripts and languages.
Speech and Language Processing
This book takes an empirical approach to language processing, based on applying statistical and other machine-learning algorithms to large corpora.Methodology boxes are included in each chapter. Each chapter is built around one or more worked examples to demonstrate the main idea of the chapter. Covers the fundamental algorithms of various fields, whether originally proposed for spoken or written language to demonstrate how the same algorithm can be used for speech recognition and word-sense disambiguation. Emphasis on web and other practical applications. Emphasis on scientific evaluation. Useful as a reference for professionals in any of the areas of speech and language processing.
