The NTNU Concatenative Speech Synthesizer

Dyre Meen, Torbjørn Svendsen

This paper describes NTNU’s entry for the Blizzard Challenge 2010. Our system is a conceptually simple variation of an HMM-based unit selection system, which uses diphones as the basic unit and employs a combined selection of units and their join points. The evaluation results of the Blizzard Challenge 2010 show that the system performs well when compared with the other systems.
