Abstract (en)

[origin: KR20200056261A] Disclosed is an electronic device capable of implementing a more natural dialogue system. The electronic device of the present invention comprises: a memory including at least one command; and a processor executing the at least one command. When a text sentence is inputted, the processor obtains prosody information of the text sentence, divides the text sentence into a plurality of sentence elements, inputs the plurality of sentence elements and the prosody information of the text sentence into a text to speech (TTS) module to obtain a voice in which prosody information of each of the plurality of sentence elements in parallel is reflected, and merges the voice for the plurality of sentence elements obtained in parallel to obtain a voice for the text sentence.
