tpdsola algorithm,Synthesized speech can be produced by several different methods. All of these have some benefits and deficiencies that are discussed in this and previous chapters. The methods are usually classified into three groups:



Articulatory synthesis, which attempts to model the human speech production system directly.

Formant synthesis, which models the pole frequencies of speech signal or transfer function of vocal tract based on source-filter-model.

Concatenative synthesis, which uses different length prerecorded samples derived from natural speech.



The formant and concatenative methods are the most commonly used in present synthesis systems. The formant synthesis was dominant for long time, but today the concatenative method is becoming more and more popular. The articulatory method is still too complicated for high quality implementations, but may arise as a potential method in the future.-tpdsola algorithm,Synthesized speech can be produced by several different methods.
