Editing Advancements in Neural Network-Based TTS (2000s) (section)

==== <big>Articulatory Features-Based TTS</big> ====
Articulatory feature-based Text-to-Speech (TTS) is a concept that involves using articulatory features, which represent the movements and positions of the speech articulators (such as the tongue, lips, and jaw), as the basis for synthesizing speech. This approach aims to capture the detailed articulatory information present in the speech signal, allowing for more natural and expressive speech synthesis.<ref name=":3">Singampalli, V. D. (2010).

'''Innovation:'''

* Utilization of Biophysical Phonetics: By incorporating articulatory models and other biophysical phonetic information, this approach enhances the quality and naturalness of speech synthesis.
* Enhanced Speech Quality: Articulatory Features-Based TTS improves the quality of synthesized speech by considering articulatory features, making it more closely resemble natural human speech.
* Addressing Shortcomings of Traditional TTS: This method aims to compensate for the limitations of traditional TTS systems, particularly in terms of naturalness and quality of speech.
* Improved Control Capabilities: Articulatory Features-Based TTS offers enhanced control over speech synthesis, enabling users to adjust parameters such as pitch, speed, and other characteristics.
* Data-Driven Learning: This approach leans towards data-driven learning, reducing reliance on manual rules and models for speech synthesis.
* These innovations have the potential to enhance the performance of speech synthesis systems, bringing them closer to natural human speech while providing greater control over the synthesized output.<ref name=":3" />
