Text-to-Speech Synthesys for Romanian Language
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Interactiune Om-Calculator - Year 2012, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper aims to challenge the problem of finding accurate and relevant search algorithms in order to obtain the best audio output in terms of intelligibility and naturalness, the usually employed measures to describe the quality of synthetic speech. It presents the approach used for searching the sound components that correspond to a provided phonetic transcription input of the Romanian language in a given acoustic database. We integrate this search module into the Unit Selection component of a text-to-speech system for Romanian language.
