Abstract (en)
[origin: US2002026313A1] The invention relates to a method, an arrangement and a computer program product for speech synthesis by means of a grapheme/phoneme conversion. In this case, a search is made for subwords of a given word in a database which contains phonetic transcriptions of words. If at least one subword of the given word is found in the database, a phonetic transcription registered in the database is selected for the subword found. In addition to the subword found, the given word has at least one further constituent, which is not registered in the database. This further constituent is phonetically transcribed with the aid of an OOV treatment, and the phonetic transcription of the subword found and the phonetic transcription of the further constituent are combined.
