Application Of Field Calculations In Optimization Of Insulator Designs
(Electrical and Information Engineering, University of Nairobi, 1994)When an insulator is placed in an electrode gap, its surface charge field distorts the geometric field, leading to a flashover at a voltage value dependent on the degree of the gap field distortion. This paper reports on ... -
Design Of Speech Database For Unit Selection In Kiswahili Text To Speech System
(Electrical and Information Engineering, University of Nairobi, 2004)When developing a Concatenative Text to Speech System [1, 3, 4] (i.e. a form of synthesis where waveforms are created by concatenating parts of natural speech recorded from humans) it is necessary that all the acoustically ... -
Development Of A Kiswahili Text To Speech System
(Electrical and Information Engineering, University of Nairobi, 2005)This paper discusses how a concatenative Kiswahili Text to Speech System (TTS) was developed based on the Festival Unit Selection Speech Synthesiser. It explains how important Kiswahili linguistic features such as phones, ... -
