Statistical approach to voice quality control in esophageal speech enhancement
2012
2012 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)
This paper describes a voice quality control method in statistical esophageal speech enhancement. Esophageal speech is produced by one of the alternative speaking methods for laryngectomees. Its naturalness and intelligibility are much lower than those of natural voices and its voice quality sounds similar even if uttered by different laryngectomees. These issues are alleviated by a statistical voice conversion method from esophageal speech into normal speech (ESto-Speech) based on eigenvoices.
