- Additional information
- This work implements diphthong synthesis with greatly improved computer efficiency. This is a key step towards natural voice synthesis for healthcare systems, providing patients with personal and emotive synthetic voices. This also leads towards reverse engineering unique characteristics of individual voices for forensic linguistics. The first author’s 2019 post-doctoral British Academy Fellowship (PF19\100024), supported by a new collaboration with the UKs longest established forensics speech and acoustics laboratory, JP French Associates (Contact: Scientific lead, JP French), uses techniques developed in this work to pursue a fully dynamic articulatory speech synthesis model.
