Abstract:
An apparatus for providing improved speech synthesis may include a processor and a memory storing executable instructions. In response to execution of the instructions by the processor, the apparatus may perform at least selecting a real glottal pulse from among one or more stored real glottal pulses based at least in part on a property associated with the real glottal pulse, utilizing the real glottal pulse selected as a basis for generation of an excitation signal, and modifying the excitation signal based on spectral parameters generated by a model to provide synthetic speech.
