INTERSPEECH 2014 Abstract: Kawahara et al.
A group delay-based excitation source analysis and design method is introduced for extension of TANDEM-STRAIGHT, a speech analysis, modification and synthesis system. This introduction makes all components of the system be based on interference-free representations. They are power spectrum, instantaneous frequency and group delay representations. This unification has potential to solve the major weak point of VOCODER architecture for high-quality speech manipulation applications.
