Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1638080A2] A system and method for generating synthetic speech is disclosed. The invention operates in a computer implemented Text-To-Speech system comprising at least a speaker database that has been previously created from user recordings, a Front-End system to receive an input text and a Text-To-Speech engine. Particularly, the Front-End system generates multiple phonetic transcriptions for each word of the input text, and the TTS engine is using a cost function to select which phonetic transcription is the more appropriate for searching the speech segments within the speaker database to be concatenated and synthesized.
