Sentence-Style Conversion of Japanese News Article for Text-to-Speech Application

چکیده
This paper proposes a method of sentence-style conversion for generating spontaneous Japanese speech in a text-to-speech synthesis system. Since written language is different from spoken language linguistically, the speech by direct reading of written Japanese texts might be unnatural. The method takes a fully rulebased approach to convert the sentence style and to complement sentences, which are lacking some functional words or verbs. The method was evaluated using Japanese newspaper articles. The precision was 89.7%, and the recall was 86.7%.
