Abstrakt

Unit selection is known for its ability to produce high-quality synthetic speech. In contrast with HMM-based synthesis, it produces more natural speech but it may suffer from sudden quality drops at concatenation points. The danger of quality deterioration can be reduced (but, unfortunately, not eliminated) by using very large speech corpora. In this paper, our first experiment with automatic artifact detection is presented. Firstly, a brief description of artifacts is given. Then, a listening test experiment, in which listeners evaluated speech synthesis artifacts, is described. The data gathered during the listening test were then used to train an SVM classifer. Finally, results of the SVM-based artifact detection in synthetic speech are discussed.
