Speech Analysis, Synthesis and Transformation in the Analysis/Synthesis Team at IRCAM
For the past 7 years or so, the interest of composers and musical assistants at IRCAM in speech synthesis and transformation techniques has continued to grow. As a result, speech processing has become one of the central research objectives of the Analysis/Synthesis team at IRCAM. In this introduction some of the key results of the research efforts carried out will be presented, providing examples, notably related to the estimation of the spectral envelope, the estimation of the LF glottal pulse model parameters, text-to-speech synthesis, shape invariant signal transformation in the phase vocoder, speaker transformation, voice conversion, and transformation of emotional states.

This workshop was organized by Nicolas Obin - IRCAM.
