Abstrakt

This paper presents another step towards linguistic naturalness of synthetic Czech. The main goal of this study is to avoid unintended occurrences of parasitic speech sounds (namely preglottalization) in synthesised speech. Firstly, procedures for both automatic detection and segmentation of these sounds in source speech recordings are presented. Then, two speech synthesis scenarios are proposed and employed to synthesise speech without preglottalization. Both scenarios succeeded in suppressing intrusiveness of preglottalization with the scenario of penalisation of preglottalization during unit selection being evaluated as the better one.
