Multilingual text analysis for text-to-speech synthesis
We present a model of text analysis for text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis based on (weighted) finite-state transducers, which serves as the text-analysis module of the multilingual Bell Labs TTS system. The transducers are constructed using a lexical toolkit that allows declarative descriptions of lexicons, morphological rules, numeral-expansion rules, and phonological rules, inter alia. To date, ...
متن کاملA multilingual text processing engine for the PAPAGENO text-to-speech synthesis system
Automatic synthesis of speech from arbitrary text requires two basic operations: linguistic analysis of input text and speech waveform generation. The achieved quality of the second stage very much depends on the reliability and richness of information generated in the first stage. In this paper we discuss possibilities and problems of text analysis for multilingual speech synthesis. The langua...
متن کاملMultilingual Text-to-Speech Synthesis: The Bell Labs Approach
This collection is a very welcome addition to the literature on automatic speech synthesis, also known as "text-to-speech" (TTS). It has been more than a decade since a comprehensive, edited collection of chapters on this topic has been published. Because much has changed in TTS research over the last ten years, this text will prove very useful to workers in the field. Along with Dutoit's recen...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Multilingual Text-to-speech Synthesis
In this paper we will discuss recent advances in multilingual text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis research at AT&T Bell Laboratories. The TTS system developed at AT&T Bell Laboratories generates synthetic speech by concatenating segments of natural speech. The architecture of the system is designed as a modular pipeline where each module handles one particular step in the process of converting text ...
متن کاملText Analysis and Word Pronunciation in Text-to-speech Synthesis
Text analysis includes such things as dividing the text into words and sentences, assigning syntactic categories to words, grouping the words within a sentence into phrases, identifying and expanding abbreviations, recognizing and analyzing expressions such as dates, fractions, and amounts of money, and so on. Word pronunciation is the problem of translating orthographic words -words in ordinar...
