This paper introduces the VoiceText text-to-speech system developed by Voiceware. By means of corpus based concatenative speech synthesis technique, we built high quality synthetic voices using the dataset provided for the Blizzard challenge 2007. The evaluation results show that VoiceText achieved high performances in both naturalness and intelligibility of synthesized speech.
