dc.description.abstract | Abstract?Unit selection is a data-driven approach to speech
synthesis that concatenates pieces of recorded speech from a
large database in order to create novel sentences. Many corpora
are available in the English language, including the Arctic
database [1], which allows a user to create small, reliable speech
synthesisers using only a small set of recorded sentences. Such
resources for minority languages are scarce however, despite their
increasing importance for the survival of such languages. This
paper describes the current research in creating efficient Irish
language corpora for speech synthesis. Corpus design techniques
are discussed, in particular, two methods of data reduction that
are applied to an aligned spoken corpus of Irish in order to
create smaller, more efficient speech corpora. | en |
