puheentuottoverkko
Puheentuottoverkko, also known as a vocoder or speech synthesis network, is a computational system designed to generate human-like speech. It operates by processing linguistic information, such as text or phonetic representations, and transforming it into an audible audio signal. Early forms of speech synthesis relied on rule-based systems that meticulously defined phonetic rules and acoustic properties of speech sounds. More advanced puheentuottoverkot leverage machine learning, particularly deep neural networks, to learn the complex patterns and nuances of human speech from large datasets of recorded speech.
These networks typically consist of several interconnected components. An acoustic model is responsible for generating the
