Waveform interpolation technique for text-to-speech synthesis

The waveform interpolation (WI) technique has recently been proposed by Kleijn [5][6] for speech coding applications. However, there are no known published works in the open literature concerning the application of the WI method for high-quality text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis. The original contribution of this paper is to study and evaluate the performance of the WI technique in the context of TTS systems.
