چکیده
Speech Synthesis is undoubtedly a technological challenge with many potential applications in human-machine communication. More basically, it is a crossroads where researchers with many different backgrounds collaborate to put together their knowledge in computational linguistics, phonetics, prosody, physiology, vocal tract modeling, signal processing, image synthesis, experimental psychology, etc. It is thus a wide area of inquiry which appeals to all those who are attracted by pluridisciplinarity and, first of all, by the most impressive property of humans: How do we speak?
