Text analysis for the bell labs French text-to-speech system
نویسنده
چکیده
The Bell Labs text-to-speech synthesis system for French is part of a multilingual e ort for text-to-speech generation which covers eight languages, including English, Italian, Russian, German, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, etc. The text analysis modules are composed of three main layers of analysis, built in a uni ed framework of nite-state transducers (Mohri & Sproat, 1996; Sproat, 1996). This paper focuses on text analysis components of the text-to-speech system for French (Tzoukermann, 1994).

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, ...
