Abstract

This paper deals with the automatic segmentation for Czech Concatenative speech synthesis. Statistical approach to speech segmentation using hidden Markov models (HMMs) is applied in the baseline system .Several experiments that concern various issues in the process of building the segmentation system, such as speech parameterization or HMM initialization problems, are described here. An objective comparison of various experimental automatic and manual segmentations is performed to find out the best settings of the segmentation system with respect to our single-female-speaker continuous speech corpus.
