Prosody adaptation in text-to-speech synthesis

A prosody adaptation text-to-speech system based on concatenation of spoken English words is presented in this paper. To make the resulting sentences sound natural, modifications are made to the prosody of the speech units using the Time-Domain-Pitch-Synchronous- Overlap-Add method. A prosody genera...
