  • Synthesizing Vowels and Consonants of Speech
    Publication number: 20140236602
    Abstract: For speech synthesis, a vowel module sequentially applies a vowel filter set to form a vowel with a source signal. The vowel filter set is selected from a logical arc traversing a vowel filter array. The vowel filter array includes a plurality of vowel filters organized as a logical space. Vowel filters traversed by the logical arc are selected. A consonant module sequentially applies a consonant filter set from a consonant filter array to form a consonant with the source signal. The consonant filter set is selected in response to a discrete consonant value.
