A duration model for Czech text-to-speech synthesis
Robert Batůšek · 2002
Duration model is a standard part of current speech synthesizers.Many types of models have been used recently, e.g.multiplicative models ([8]), sum-of-products models ([9]) or decision tree-based models ([4], [5]).This paper follows a decision tree approach.It describes several versions of the duration model for Czech speech synthesis.The model presented here will be implemented in the Czech TTS system Demosthenes ([1],[2]).
