Application Of Field Calculations In Optimization Of Insulator Designs
Gakuru, M (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
Gakuru, M (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
Gakuru, M; Iraki, FK; Tucker, R; K, Shalonova (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, ... -
