Pitch-synchronous analysis and synthesis for its systems

David Talkin, James Rowley

This paper describes a robust, accurate method for finding the glottal closure instants, and a method of pitch-synchronous linear prediction analysis that provides parameters capable of producing clear and natural-sounding synthetic speech when used in a pulse/noise-excited synthesizer. Synthesis techniques that lead to improved naturalness are also described.
