XML representation languages as a way of interconnecting TTS modules
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present paper reports on a novel way of increasing the modularity and pluggability of text-to-speech (TTS) architectures. In a proof-of-concept study, two current TTS systems, both using XML-based languages for internal data representation, are plugged together using XSLT transforms as a means of translating from one system’s internal representation to the other’s. This method allows one system to use modules from the other system. The potential and the limitations of the approach are discussed.

Strategies for Enterprise Voice Enabled Web Projects
The voice enabled web is a combination of XML based markup languages, speech recognition, text to speech (TTS) and web technologies. Key to the success of voice enabled web applications is the “naturalness” of the interface. Users are much more likely to interact with a system they feel comfortable with and that responds in a human like way. This paper describes the deployment of TTS in commerc...

متن کاملA Browser Framework for Hybrid XML Documents
Hybrid XML documents are documents, which contain several XML languages, separated by a namespace. Recently, the usage of hybrid documents has increased. The trend has been to specify XML languages as modules, which are combined to construct complete documents. As the number of languages gets higher, a way to flexibly handle these kinds of documents is required. This paper describes a framework...
متن کاملFrisian TTS, an example of bootstrapping TTS for minority languages
A Frisian adaptation of a Dutch TTS system based on Festival, NeXTeNS, is presented as a case study in prototyping TTS for resource-poor minority languages. For these languages, demonstrator systems are essential to seed projects in speech and language technology. The conversion of a Dutch TTS system to a new language with minimal speech and language resources, Frisian, demonstrates that a TTS ...
متن کاملAn XML-Based Platform for Semantic Transformation of Numerical Programs
We describe a simple component architecture for the development of tools for mathematically based semantic transformations of scientific software. This architecture consists of compiler-based, language-specific frontand backends for source transformation, loosely coupled with one or more language-independent “plug-in” transformation modules. The coupling mechanism between the frontand back-ends...
