A Study of the Designing Rhythm Annotation Rules and the Time Parameter Extraction for Tibetan Speech

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rhythm annotation is the basement of speech analysis and speech synthesis technology for Tibetan. Base on the study of Chinese rhythm, and Tibetan characters, this paper has studied the rhythm annotation for the speech synthesis technology of Tibetan, and has designed a set of rhythm annotation rules, which consists of Latin transliteration, tone type, syllable type, stress type, and break indices. Getting the annotative texts by Praat; then extracting prosodic parameters by Matlab, which is including the parameter designing, parameter extracting and results saving three parts.
