Book 2017a set of five universal perceptual quality dimensions for TTS signals. They are: (i) naturalness of voice, (ii) prosodic quality, (iii) fluency and intelligibility, (iv) absence of disturbances, and (v) calmness. Moreover, a test protocol for the efficient indentification of those dimensions in a li

The main focus is put upon different methods for the speech signal generation, namely: parametric methods, concatenative speech synthesis, model-based synthesis approaches and hybrid models. Moreover, distortions that are specific for these systems are discussed. Fi

Perceptual Quality Dimensions,s. Afterwards, two studies on two extensive German TTS databases are presented. In the first study a SD is developed that covers all perceptual quality features of state-of-the-art TTS systems, while the second study is based on a direct comparison of TTS stimuli without the help of any attribute sc

Requirements for the Integration of an Instrumental Quality Measure into a Concatenative TTS Systemherefore, the unit selection approach of MaryTTS is described and methods for the generation of multiple versions of the same utterance are introduced (Section ). The RPM can then be used to choose the best of these alternatives. A listening test is conducted to examine whether some of the generated
