Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0606520A2] The present invention refers to a method of implementing intonation curves for vocal messages, and to a speech synthesis method and system using the same. Such methods characterize in that the generation of the pronunciation and of the intonation are carried out independently and separately using a coding technique that permits the instantaneous control of intonation, i.e. of pitch.
