Kham Dialect Speech Synthesis Based on Deep Learning

In this paper, we constructed speech synthesis corpus of Kham dialect. At the same time, we designed SAMP-Kham machine-readable phonetic label of Kham dialect, and proposed a framework of Kham dialect speech synthesis based on deep learning. The deep learning architecture includes deep neural network (DNN), hybrid long short-term memory (LSTM) and hybrid Bidirectional long short-term memory (BLSTM). The objective and subjective evaluations test showed that quality of synthesized speech of Kham dialect was satisfied.
