Further Improvements to Pronunciation by Analogy
The synthesis quality is influenced by many important factors, among which the correctness of the grapheme-to-phoneme conversion is one of the crucial ones. The globalization phenomenon makes it impossible to have a dictionary with all of the existing words for each language. Automatic letter-tosound systems have been in the center of attention for the last decade. One of the most effective and...
متن کاملA probabilistic approach to pronunciation by analogy
The relationship between written and spoken words is convoluted in languages with a deep orthography such as English and therefore it is difficult to devise explicit rules for generating the pronunciations for unseen words. Pronunciation by analogy (PbA) is a data-driven method of constructing pronunciations for novel words from concatenated segments of known words and their pronunciations. PbA...
متن کاملMultilingual Data-Driven Pronunciation
Automatic pronunciation of unknown words is a hard problem of great importance in speech technology. The difficulty of the problem appears to vary across languages, according to the ‘depth’ of orthography, although there are, as yet, little by way of quantitative comparisons. Early solutions were based on manually-written expert rules but these are expensive to derive and maintain, are entirely...
متن کاملA Multi-Strategy Approach to Improving Pronunciation by Analogy
Pronunciation by analogy (PbA) is a data-driven method for relating letters to sound, with potential application to next-generation text-to-speech systems. This paper extends previous work on PbA in several directions. First, we have included "full" pattern matching between input letter string and dictionary entries, as well as including lexical stress in letter-to-phoneme conversion. Second, w...
متن کاملPronunciation by Analogy: Impact of Implementational Choices on Performance
Pronunciation by analogy (PbA) is an emerging, data-driven technique with potential application in text-to-speech (TTS) systems, as well as being an influential psychological model of reading aloud. The underlying idea is that a pronunciation for an unknown word (i.e. one not in the dictionary, or lexicon, of the human or machine ‘reader’) is assembled by matching substrings of the input to sub...
