Thank you for confirming this! <br><br>I have another question, please:<br><br>Can anyone tell me a good place for discussing TDPSOLA? <br>I would very much like to experiment with it, but the example in Mary is - as I understood it - just a starting point.<br><br>I would like to be able to ask real newbie questions without being punished or ignored because my questions are just too newbie.<br><br>Thank you for any hints.<br><br>Jerome<br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2012 15:45:55 +0100<br>> From: ingmar.steiner@ucd.ie<br>> To: jerome.perri@hotmail.com<br>> CC: bizpole@hotmail.ca; mary-users@dfki.de<br>> Subject: Re: [mary-users] [mary-dev] Labelling gaps<br>> <br>> Dear Jerome and Asif,<br>> <br>> the "pause" under discussion does indeed occur between syllables, but <br>> not all syllables exhibit this. In fact, what you observe is the <br>> occlusion phase of the [t], characteristic for all plosive phonemes (or <br>> "stops"), during which intraoral pressure builds up. It is followed by <br>> the burst (or release) phase, and the two phases comprise the [t] as it <br>> is spoken in e.g., English.<br>> <br>> Your conclusion to label the occlusion phase as part of the [t] is correct.<br>> <br>> Best wishes,<br>> <br>> -Ingmar<br>> <br>> On 01/10/2012 11:44, Jerome Perri wrote:<br>> > Hi Asif,<br>> ><br>> > that is a very good explanation, I agree with it.<br>> > Thank you.<br>> ><br>> > Jerome<br>> ><br>> > ------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>> > From: bizpole@hotmail.ca<br>> > To: jerome.perri@hotmail.com; ingmar.steiner@ucd.ie; mary-dev@dfki.de;<br>> > mary-users@dfki.de<br>> > Subject: Re: [mary-users] [mary-dev] Labelling gaps<br>> > Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2012 09:22:39 -0400<br>> ><br>> > Hello Jerome,<br>> > I am not expert but I will try to explain it by logic.<br>> > I will assume it as a syllable pause.(Phonetic Pause)<br>> > The gap or pause between _HO_ and _TEL_ is due to syllables of this<br>> > word. _HO_ is 1st block and _TEL_ is 2nd block of this disyllable word,<br>> > _HO_ is said completely 1st and as one block while a pause came before<br>> > _TEL_ to make a complete word, _TEL_ caused a gap between both blocks,<br>> > so in my opinion gap/pause should be labeled<br>> > as a part of T.<br>> > Thanks<br>> > Asif Mir<br>> > *From:* Jerome Perri <mailto:jerome.perri@hotmail.com><br>> > *Sent:* Friday, September 28, 2012 6:49 AM<br>> > *To:* ingmar.steiner@ucd.ie <mailto:ingmar.steiner@ucd.ie> ;<br>> > mary-dev@dfki.de <mailto:mary-dev@dfki.de> ; mary-users@dfki.de<br>> > <mailto:mary-users@dfki.de><br>> > *Subject:* [mary-users] [mary-dev] Labelling gaps<br>> ><br>> > Hello!<br>> ><br>> > I would like to ask what the rules for labelling are for cases where<br>> > there is a gap.<br>> ><br>> > For example in a word like "hotel":<br>> > It is likely that the speaker made a small pause betwee the "o" and the "t".<br>> > Should the gap/pause be labelled as a part of the "o" or as a part of "t"?<br>> ><br>> > Thank you!<br>> ><br>> > Jerome<br>> ><br>> > ------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>> ><br>> > _______________________________________________<br>> > Mary-users mailing list<br>> > Mary-users@dfki.de <mailto:Mary-users@dfki.de><br>> > http://www.dfki.de/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/mary-users<br>> <br>> -- <br>> Ingmar Steiner<br>> Postdoctoral Research Fellow<br>> Centre for Next Generation Localisation<br>> <br>> Multilingual Ubiquitous Speech Technology (MUSTER)<br>> Computer Science and Informatics<br>> University College Dublin<br>> <br>> Speech Communication Laboratory<br>> Centre for Language and Communication Studies<br>> Trinity College Dublin<br></div> </div></body>
