A flexible multilingual TTS development and speech research tool
Géza Kiss, Géza Németh, Gábor Olaszy, Géza Gordos · 2001
Diverse synthesis methods and text-to-speech (TTS) architectures are being developed and applied almost every day. This tendency raises the need for durable program systems that effectively assist research and development in this area. A flexible development system for multilingual textto-speech and general speech research is intr oduced. The system was developed for use with the Multivox and Profivox concatenative speech synthesis systems, but its architecture makes it theoretically appropriate for a wide variety of purposes and different TTS systems. The system architecture and the functions of the development system are described.
