Application interfaces for the Chatr
synthesiser
Abstract:In this report, we present three application interfaces for the ATR
Chatr synthesiser implemented by George Hwang during his student
internship from the University of British Columbia. The first is an all-
purpose interface, PTerm, using stdin/stdout so that existing software like TDMT can be easily interfaced. The second describes three
applications of dynamic time-warping to match Chatr input/output
with real-world audio, and the third is a multi-lingual text processor
that allows mixed text (from different languages and character sets)
to be synthesised using a single speaker.
