Abstract

Phonetics transcription is the process of representing the speech unit into phonetic alphabets. This is necessary step for doing speech synthesis. It involves segmentation and labelling of sound files. Transcription at phonetic level can be performed either manually or automatically. Both ways are implemented on different expressions like happy, neutral and sad. Comparisons using various parameters like pitch, power and formants are made for various emotions. Additionally, pros and cons of using manual and automatic segmentations are also discussed on the basis of result received on expressive speech corpus.
