In this work a speech synthesis system is implemented. The system uses concatenation of phoneme waveforms as the method of synthesis. These waveforms are generated by sampling the speech of a human speaker and then separating it into its phonemes. These phoneme samples are stored in the hard disk to be used in the synthesis. Then the text to be read is separated into its syllables and each syllable is synthesized by concatenating the phoneme samples. This method is facilitated by the structure of the Turkish language and some exceptions are taken into account. The same synthesis method is then applied using diphones as the units of synthesis. This increases the intelligibility of the speech but also increases the storage needs of the system.

Two channel adaptive speech enhancement
Zaim, Erman; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
In this thesis, speech enhancement problem is studied and a speech enhancement system is implemented on TMS320C5505 fixed point DSP. Speech degradation due to the signal leakage into the reference microphone and uncorrelated signals between microphones are studied. Limitations of fixed point implementations are examined. Theoretical complexities of weight adaptation algorithms are examined. Moreover, differences between theoretical and practical complexities of weight adaptation algorithms due to the select...
Spectral modification for context-free voice conversion using MELP speech coding framework
Salor, O; Demirekler, Mübeccel (2004-10-22)
In this work, we have focused on spectral modification of speech for voice con version from one speaker to another. Speech conversion aims to modify the speech of one speaker such that the modified speech sounds as if spoken by another speaker. MELP (Mixed Excitation Linear Prediction) speech coding algorithm has been used as speech analysis and synthesis framework. Using a 230-sentence triphone balanced database of the two speakers, a mapping between the 4-stage vector quantization indexes for line spectra...
Nonlinear interactive source-filter models for speech
KOÇ, Turgay; Çiloğlu, Tolga (2016-03-01)
The linear source-filter model of speech production assumes that the source of the speech sounds is independent of the filter. However, acoustic simulations based on the physical speech production models show that when the fundamental frequency of the source harmonics approaches the first formant of the vocal tract filter, the filter has significant effects on the source due to the nonlinear coupling between them. In this study, two interactive system models are proposed under the quasi steady Bernoulli flo...
Nonlinear interactive source-filter model for voiced speech
Koç, Turgay; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
The linear source-filter model (LSFM) has been used as a primary model for speech processing since 1960 when G. Fant presented acoustic speech production theory. It assumes that the source of voiced speech sounds, glottal flow, is independent of the filter, vocal tract. However, acoustic simulations based on the physical speech production models show that, especially when the fundamental frequency (F0) of source harmonics approaches to the first formant frequency (F1) of vocal tract filter, the filter has s...
Speech conversion using MELP speech coding algorithm
Salor, O; Demirekler, Mübeccel (2004-04-30)
In this work, MELP (Mixed Excitation Linear Prediction) speech coding algorithm has been used for speech conversion. Speech conversion aims to modify the speech of one speaker such that the modified speech sounds as if spoken by another speaker. Speech modeling of MELP has been used to derive a mapping the between the speech models of the two speakers. We have obtained a mapping which provides a context-free speech conversion. We have mainly considered the spectral properties of the speakers. Using the 230 ...
