Text Preprocessing for Speech Synthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe our text preprocessing modules for English text-to-speech synthesis. These modules comprise rule-based text normalization subsuming sentence segmentation and normalization of non-standard words, statistical part-of-speech tagging, and statistical syllabification, grapheme-to-phoneme conversion, and word stress assignment relying in parts on rule-based morphological analysis.

A Parser-based Text Preprocessor for Romanian Language Tts Synthesis
Text preprocessing plays an important role in a textto-speech (TTS) synthesis system. The correct detection and interpretation of input strings influence the overall system accuracy and contribute to the conversion of an unrestricted text into synthetic speech. This paper describes the design philosophy of a preprocessing module for a TTS system in Romanian language. The preprocessor is impleme...

One activity of Siemens in the TC-STAR project is to develop a high-quality text-to-speech (TTS) system for UK English. Our main focus is the improvement of the text preprocessing and the acoustic synthesis. Therefore in the second evaluation we took part with the text preprocessing module (task M1) and the whole system (tasks S1 and S2) for UK English. In this article the three modules text pr...

One of the interesting topics on multimedia domain is concerned with empowering computer in order to speech production. Speech synthesis is granting human abilities to the computer for speech production. Data-based approach and process-based approach are the two main approaches on speech synthesis. Each approach has its varied challenges. Unit-selection speech synthesis and statistical parametr...
متن کاملAn interactive tutorial on text-to-speech synthesis from diphones in time domain
We are presenting an interactive course on speech synthesis which is designed to support the education in speech communication. In the basic section, the fundamental principles of speech synthesis are explained. To explore a complete text-to-speech (TTS) system, the user is provided with access to the Dresden Speech Synthesizer DreSS. The user may type any text, and he may observe how the syste...
