> The PhD researcher will be based at the Phonetics & Speech Laboratory,
> School of Linguistic, Speech & Communication Sciences, Trinity College,
> Dublin, and will work in collaboration with the speech research group. The
> principal research focus will be the extension of our in-house
> voice-analysis system, to provide more accurate characterisation of voice
> source dynamics. The focus is both on capturing natural productions and
> incorporating these in TTS systems developed for Irish at the Laboratory
> (see www.abair.ie). The research group at the Phonetics & Speech Lab. is
> an interdisciplinary group with expertise in linguistic phonetics, speech
> engineering, computational linguistics, and computer science. A major
> strand of the research focuses on the human voice. This includes both the
> development of techniques for voice analysis and empirical studies
> exploring voice prosody, i.e. the communicative use of the voice to signal
> both linguistic and emotional information. The group is also developing
> speech technology for the Irish language (Gaelic). To date, text-to-speech
> systems have been developed for dialects of Irish, along with applications
> for education and disability/access (the ABAIR initiative). Our aim is to
> work towards more flexible synthetic voices, capable of capturing features
> of human voice prosody.
