The talk will describe our recent experiments on estimation of vocal tract area functions from acoustical measurements at the lips. Since the theoretical basis for such measurements has been discussed in several earlier publications, we will concentrate on the experimental aspects. The two main accomplishments we will report on are: (1) We are now able to make measurements, compute and display the area functions in real time (16-20 frames per second). This speed of reconstruction has never been possible before. (2) We have synthesized reasonable good quality speech from a number of sentence-length sequences of measured area functions. Some attempts at synthesizing steady vowels from such measurements have been reported in the past. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first instance of continuous speech synthesized from direct acoustical measurements of area functions. We will present examples of time-varying area functions and corresponding synthesized speech signals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
