Multilingual phonological analysis and speech synthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give an overview of multilingual speech synthesis using the IPOX system. The first part discusses work in progress for various languages: Tashlhit Berber, Urdu and Dutch. The second part discusses a multilingual phonological grammar, which can be adapted to a particular language by setting parameters and adding languagespecific details.

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 کاملMultilingual Models in the Ibm Biling
In this paper we describe the role of multilingual models in the creation and deployment of unit selection based bilingual speech synthesizers. We first review the definition of a multilingual phonetic alphabet for the simultaneous recognition of up to fifteen languages, and then discuss synthesis specific modifications that allow a more detailed description of the synthesizers’ unit inventorie...
متن کاملAnalysis by synthesis of speech prosody: the Prozed environment
This paper presents ProZed, an environment for the multilingual analysis by synthesis of speech prosody. The analysis is based on the symbolic representation of prosodic form without reference to prosodic function. The parameters of the model are at present limited to fundamental frequency and duration but the same framework could be extended to accomodate other parameters such as spectral tilt...
متن کاملA Multilingual Phonological Resource Toolkit for Ubiquitous Speech Technology
This paper outlines the generation process of a specific computational linguistic representation termed the Multilingual Time Map, conceptually a multi-tape finite state transducer encoding linguistic data at different levels of granularity. The first component acquires phonological data from syllable labeled speech data, the second component defines feature profiles, the third component genera...
متن کاملGeneric Techniques for Multilingual Speech Technology Applications
This paper is concerned with generic techniques for representing and evaluating phonological information in multilingual speech technology applications. A computational linguistic model of phonological interpretation is enhanced by a framework for constructing and evaluating phonotactic automata and by a generic lexicon model. The techniques make way for the extension of current speech technolo...
