متن کاملWord-level prosody in Sotho-Tswana
We introduce an algorithm to derive word-level tone assignments for the Sotho-Tswana languages. Prerequisite inputs are identified, and the steps to transform these inputs to tone assignments for each syllable are described. Manual implementation of the algorithm shows very good agreement with tone levels measured in a small Sotho-Tswana corpus.
متن کاملCommon patterns in word level prosody
The task of generating natural human-sounding prosody for text-to-speech (TTS) has historically been one of the most challenging problems that researchers and developers have had to face. TTS systems have in general become infamous for their “robotic” intonations. This paper describes an approach to this problem which endeavors to capture as much detail as possible from speech data, but in a wa...
