One of the most crucial aspects of communication in daily life is speech recognition. Speech recognition that is based on natural language processing is one of the essential elements in the conversion of one system to another. In this…
We describe an architecture for implementing spoken natural language dialogue interfaces to semi-autonomous systems, in which the central idea is to transform the input speech signal through successive levels of representation corresponding…
Text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis is a technology that converts written text into spoken words, enabling a natural and accessible means of communication. This abstract explores the key aspects of TTS synthesis, encompassing its underlying…
Speech is one of the interaction modalities that we increasingly come across in natural user interfaces. However, its use in collaborative scenarios has not yet been thoroughly investigated. In this reflection statement, we discuss the…
This research paper presents a comprehensive review-based study on various Text-to-Speech (TTS) technologies. TTS technology is an important aspect of human-computer interaction, enabling machines to convert written text into audible…
For the past few decades, man has been trying to create an intelligent computer which can talk and respond like he can. The task of creating a system that can talk like a human being is the primary objective of Automatic Speech Recognition.…
Speech is the fundamental mode of human communication, and its synthesis has long been a core priority in human-computer interaction research. In recent years, machines have managed to master the art of generating speech that is…
Vast improvements in natural language understanding and speech recognition have paved the way for conversational interaction with computers. While conversational agents have often been used for short goal-oriented dialog, we know little…
Human face-to-face conversation is an ideal model for human-computer dialogue. One of the major features of face-to-face communication is its multiplicity of communication channels that act on multiple modalities. To realize a natural…
Innovations in interaction design are increasingly driven by progress in machine learning fields. Automatic speech emotion recognition (SER) is such an example field on the rise, creating well performing models, which typically take as…
Text-to-speech technology has been broadly used to help people with voice disabilities to overcome their difficulties. With text-to-speech, a person types at a keyboard, the text is synthesized, and the sound comes out through the computer…
Brain-to-speech technology represents a fusion of interdisciplinary applications encompassing fields of artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, and speech synthesis. Neural representation learning based intention decoding and…
As part of the Human-Computer Interaction field, Expressive speech synthesis is a very rich domain as it requires knowledge in areas such as machine learning, signal processing, sociology, psychology. In this Chapter, we will focus mostly…
Direct speech-to-image translation without text is an interesting and useful topic due to the potential applications in human-computer interaction, art creation, computer-aided design. etc. Not to mention that many languages have no writing…
Contemporary conversational systems often present a significant limitation: their responses lack the emotional depth and disfluent characteristic of human interactions. This absence becomes particularly noticeable when users seek more…
Producing synthetic voice, similar to human-like sound, is an emerging novelty of modern interactive media systems. Text-To-Speech (TTS) systems try to generate synthetic and authentic voices via text input. Besides, well known and familiar…
The goal of this work is to simultaneously generate natural talking faces and speech outputs from text. We achieve this by integrating Talking Face Generation (TFG) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems into a unified framework. We address the…
Recent studies have outlined the accessibility challenges faced by blind or visually impaired, and less-literate people, in interacting with social networks, in-spite of facilitating technologies such as monotone text-to-speech (TTS) screen…
Speaker identity is one of the important characteristics of human speech. In voice conversion, we change the speaker identity from one to another, while keeping the linguistic content unchanged. Voice conversion involves multiple speech…
Hand interactions are increasingly used as the primary input modality in immersive environments, but they are not always feasible due to situational impairments, motor limitations, and environmental constraints. Speech interfaces have been…
