Polyglot speech prosody control
Within a polyglot text-to-speech synthesis system, the generation of an adequate prosody for mixed-lingual texts, sentences, or even words, requires a polyglot prosody model that is able to seamlessly switch between languages and that applies the same voice for all languages. This paper presents the first polyglot prosody model that fulfills these requirements and that is constructed from indep...
متن کاملInvestigating Prosodic Modifications for Polyglot Text-to-Speech Synthesis
This paper investigates the need for applying English prosody when synthesising English portions of mixed English/German texts using a German-based polyglot text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis system. The polyglot system is based on a monolingual German TTS system, which uses a phone mapping from English to German to synthesise English texts. Two systems with varying degrees of assimilation to Engli...
متن کاملA Mixed-Lingual Phonological Component Which Drives the Statistical Prosody Control of a Polyglot TTS Synthesis System
A polyglot text-to-speech synthesis system which is able to read aloud mixed-lingual text has first of all to derive the correct pronunciation. This is achieved with an accurate morpho-syntactic analyzer that works simultaneously as language detector, followed by a phonological component which performs various phonological transformations. The result of these symbol processing steps is a comple...
متن کاملText analysis and language identification for polyglot text-to-speech synthesis
In multilingual countries, text-to-speech synthesis systems often have to deal with texts containing inclusions of multiple other languages in form of phrases, words, or even parts of words. In such multilingual cultural settings, listeners expect a high-quality text-to-speech synthesis system to read such texts in a way that the origin of the inclusions is heard, i.e., with correct language-sp...
متن کاملBuilding Text-to-Speech Systems for Resource Poor Languages
The focus of this research is to develop a method for building Text to Speech Systems for resource poor languages by using data from other languages to fine tune a general template polyglot TTS architecture. Our method involves three main componants: language clustering, phoneme mappings and prosody modelling. As a proof of concept, four TTS have been implemented for English, Spanish, Malay and...
