Konverze hlasu
Voice conversion is the process of transformation of speech parameters belonging to one speaker in such a way that his/her speech sounds as spoken by someone else. This thesis presents a short summary of several techniques currently used for conversion. First, the theory of voice creation with an emphasis on key atributes that characterize and identify a speaker’s voice is described. Methods for voice modification are discussed, together with the advantages and pitfalls that predetermine the use-cases for suitable application of these methods. A high-level overview of how speech is transformed between the source and the target speakers is presented. This description is subsequently used to design a voice conversion system that is aimed to demonstrate one of the possible approaches to the conversion problem. The process of conversion consists of two phases: training and synthesis. As part of this project, a computer program for voice conversion based on the MATLAB programming environment has been developed. Its design, implementation and results are discussed.
