Speech Output Generation in GoalGetter
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper a method for speech output generation in data-to-speech systems is proposed, called phrase concatenation, which tries to nd a balance between naturalness and exibility of the speech output. The GoalGetter system , which generates spoken monologues on football matches, serves as an example. The phrase concatenation technique involves concatenating prerecor-ded words and phrases, which is new in that diierent prosodic versions of otherwise identical phrases are recorded.
