Voice Morphing

Transition Phenomenon.

Technology developed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, USA by George Papcun .

What it actually performs? It is a technique to modify a source

speaker's speech to sound as if it was spoken by a target speaker.

Voice morphing enables speech patterns to be cloned

And an accurate copy of a person's voice can be made that can wishes to say, anything in the voice of someone else.

Need of voice morphing

Text To Speech (TTS) In public speech systems For special effects ( just like video or

image morphing is done ). To diminish Ethnical barriers.

Voice Morphing Process

Preprocessing or representation conversion.

Pitch and Envelope analysis. Morphing which includes Warping

and interpolation. Signal re-estimation.

Pre-Processing Involves processes like signal

acquisition in discrete form and windowing.

Page 11: Voice morphing-

11

Pitch And Envelope Analysis This process will extract the pitch. Formant information in the speech

signal.

Conversion

Matching and Warping

DTW(Dynamic Time Warping)

- Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is used to find the best match between the pitch of the two sounds.

Page 14: Voice morphing-

Signal Re-Estimation

Loss during Signal re-estimation

- Due to signals being transformation into the cepstral domain, a magnitude function is used. This results in a loss of phase information in the representation of the data.

Limitations

 Lots of normalizing problems.Some applications require extensive sound libraries.Different languages require different phonetics.It is very seldom complete.

Page 17: Voice morphing-

Advantages

Allows speech model to be duplicated and an exact copy of a person’s voice.

Powerful combat zone weapon.

Page 18: Voice morphing-

Disadvantages

Use to pull out the useful information.

It hides the actual identity of the user.

Conclusion

The approach we have adopted separates the sounds into two forms: - Spectral envelope information - Pitch and voicing information.

Dynamic Time Warping - Aligns the sounds with respect to their pitches.

Signal re-estimation algorithm.- Frames are converted back into a time domain waveform.

Application Areas

Fake telephone conversations as evidence in courts of law.

Powerful battlefield weapon.- Provide fake orders to the enemy's troops, appearing to come from their own commanders.

Future Scope

Extending the functionality of tool.- Create a powerful and flexible morphing tool.

Increased user interaction. - Graphical User Interface could be designed and integrated to make the package more ‘user-friendly’.
