As the performance of smart devices and information systems becomes higher, more advanced speech interfaces are requested to make such devices and systems human-friendly. Regarding speech output in spoken language interface, which is based on text-to-speech technique, synthetic speech should be not only natural sounding but also expressive. This talk gives an overview of approaches to synthesizing speech with diverse voice characteristics and speaking styles and/or emotional expressions based on a statistical parametric speech synthesis framework. Recent advances in expressive speech synthesis studies will be also presented. |
