چکیده
The paper describes some results of the research which aiming at filling the gap in introducing and promoting computerized speech technology for Slavonic languages, in particular, a technology of TTS synthesis for Belarusian, Polish and Russian. A typological analysis of the peculiarities of phonemic and allophonic systems of Belarussian, Polish and Russian languages is given. Based on the results of this study, an approach to making a unified phonetic-acoustical database for multi-language Slavonic TTS synthesis is proposed. The results of the quantitative analysis of the pitch contours for some Slavonic languages and, besides, the peculiarities of speakers individual intonation are presented. The general structure of multi-language and multi-voice TTS system is described.

The analysis of the language legislation of all 85 subjects of the Russian Federation shows complete heterogeneity and diversity. Common legal guidelines in Federal law do not exist, because Federal legislation is obsolete and is largely whitespace and conflict. The subjects of the Russian Federation, on whose territory different ethnic groups, both large and indigenous, historically live, solv...
متن کاملOpen-Source Consumer-Grade Indic Text To Speech
Open-source text-to-speech (TTS) software has enabled the development of voices in multiple languages, including many high-resource languages, such as English and European languages. However, building voices for low-resource languages is still challenging. We describe the development of TTS systems for 12 Indian languages using the Festvox framework, for which we developed a common frontend for...
متن کاملSpeech Data Analysis for Diphone Construction of a Maori Online Text-to-speech Synthesizer
One of the main types of speech processing technologies today is text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis. A well established speech synthesizer technique called ‘diphone concatenation’ uses a speakers processed speech examples to apply a more human-like response to the TTS synthesis system. This methodology has been used to construct many diphone databases for various languages, and was the basis for bu...
متن کاملMulti-source morphosyntactic tagging for spoken Rusyn
This paper deals with the development of morphosyntactic taggers for spoken varieties of the Slavic minority language Rusyn. As neither annotated corpora nor parallel corpora are electronically available for Rusyn, we propose to combine existing resources from the etymologically close Slavic languages Russian, Ukrainian, Slovak, and Polish and adapt them to Rusyn. Using MarMoT as tagging toolki...
