title={Hungarian Speech Synthesis Using a Phase Exact HNM Approach},
abstract={Unnaturally sounding speech prevents the listeners from recognizing the
message of the signal. In this paper we demonstrate how a precise initial
phase approximation can improve the naturalness of artificially generated
speech. Using the Harmonic plus Noise Model provided by Stylianou as a
framework for a Hungarian speech synthesis, the exact initial phase extension
of the system can be easily performed. The proposed method turns out to
be more effective in preserving the sound characteristics and quality than
the original one. },
