Abstracts
Personalized voice models
With adaptive and learning methods long recording and annotation sessions are no longer required for building personalized voice models. Using this technology the recognition of everybody's speech becomes more accurate, even in noisy environment, and speech can be synthesized using anybody's voice, even in a foreign language. Personalized synthetic speech is needed when a person who has lost his voice wants to communicate using his original voice. Another important application is speech translation into a foreign language so that the speech continues to sound like the same speaker.
