The earlier unit concatenation TTS system scored 2.63, the formant synthesizer scored 1.24, and natural speech scored 4.86. ...
The unit selection follows a top-down hierarchical scheme using words and speech sounds as units. A simple prosody model is used, based on the relative position of words within a prosodic phrase. ...
To mark the sound boundaries in the speech waveform, a Hungarian speech recognizer was used in forced alignment mode [5] . ...

This paper proposes a first attempt to build an end-to-end speech-to-text translation system, which does not use source language transcription during learning or decoding. ...
For instance, in the former project DARPA TRANSTAC (speech translation from spoken Arabic dialects), a large effort was devoted to the collection of speech transcripts (and a prerequisite to obtain transcripts ...
It is important to note that this is corpus-based concatenative speech synthesis (Schwarz, 2007) and not parametric synthesis. ...

In this paper we build upon a previously developed tool, ALISA, which was developed to align speech with imperfect transcripts using only 10 minutes of manually labelled data, in any alphabetic language ...
To overcome this problem, we propose two methods: one based on utterance concatenation, and one based on voice activity detection (VAD). ...
The main approaches either restrict the language model to match the available transcription [6] - [10] , or use acoustic cues to align the speech and text [11] . ...

But, a few problems are associated with readily using this data such as (1) these audio files are generally long, and audio-transcription alignment is memory intensive; (2) precise corresponding transcriptions ...
Earlier works on long audio alignment addressing the first and second issue generally preferred reasonable transcripts and mainly focused on (1) less manual intervention, (2) mispronunciation detection ...
Even in the case of Olive and lecture, respectively, we used hypotheses of the ASR system instead of force-aligned reference transcriptions from Project Gutenberg and Coursera because the reference transcriptions ...
