How does Icelandic Text to Speech work?
- Concatenative Synthesis. This method uses recorded speech segments to create new utterances by concatenating existing sound bites that match the phonetic requirements of the text.
- Parametric Synthesis. In this approach, various parameters of speech such as pitch, duration, and intensity are manipulated to generate voice, allowing for more flexible and varied outputs.
- Neural Network-Based Synthesis. This cutting-edge technique uses deep learning models to produce more natural-sounding speech by learning the characteristics of human voices from a large dataset.
- Formant Synthesis. It generates artificial speech by approximating the human vocal tract and manipulating the resonance frequencies, leading to synthetic yet intelligible speech sounds.
