Speech Technology for Minority Languages: the Case of Irish (Gaelic)
PUBLISHED Pittsburgh Abstract?Unit selection is a data-driven approach to speech synthesis that concatenates pieces of recorded speech from a large database in order to create novel sentences. Many corpora are available in the English language, including the Arctic database [1], which allows a user...
