Abstract

The present paper deals with time-scale modifications of speech. The aim is to utilize high quality speech signal stretching method into the project ELJABR, or more specifically, into the part of project including automatic audio track generation. The audio track is produced from subtitles by TTS (text-to-speech) system, and one of the most frequented problems is that synthetic speech often exceeds the time slot in which subtitles are displayed. Therefore, the length of synthetic speech and time-slot of subtitles must be synchronized, mostly by increasing the speed of synthetic speech, while the quality of speech must be kept. This issue can be solved by WSOLA technique.
