Abstract: In this study we introduce combined data driven and rule based methods to synthesise speech. The aim is to improve on the coarticulatory modelling by adapting the KTH TTS system to data from one speaker. Regression trees are trained on a manually corrected speech database to provide predictions for vowel formant frequencies. At runtime, the TTS system produces formant frequency trajectories that are derived from weighted contributions from both the rules and the regression trees. The weighting... (Update)

.... measuring speech naturalness is to ask the subjects for an indication whether one utterance was better, equal, or worse than another [2, 4]. Even though this relative scale reliably indicates differences, it fails to show magnitude of improvement. In this work we implement a...
