Abstract
Multipulse linear prediction is a coding technique that can provide extremely high quality speech synthesis [B. S. Atal and J. R. Remde, IEEE Proc. ICASSP82, 614–617 (1982)]. It is therefore of interest to examine whether the technique can be used to provide correspondingly good quality in a text‐to‐speech system. In such a system a prosodic contour is imposed on a set of concentrated speech units. Various speech units (e.g., words and diphones) have been tried. First results suggest that the word is the appropriate unit to be used in such a system. The techniques for pitch and timing alteration, speech unit concatention, and the effects on the resulting synthetic speech will be discussed and demonstrated.
