USTC system for Blizzard Challenge 2006 an improved HMM-based speech synthesis method
This paper introduces the USTC speech synthesis system for Blizzard Challenge 2006. The HMM-based parametric synthesis approach was adopted for its convenience and effectiveness in building a new voice, especially for the nonnative developers. Some useful techniques were also integrated into our sys...
