High quality Spanish restricted-domain TTS oriented to a weather forecast application
نویسندگان
چکیده
A restricted domain text-to-speech system oriented to a weather forecast application is presented. This TTS system is embedded in a multimedia interactive service accessible from different media, such as TV, Internet and mobile devices. The requirements of this application give rise to several particularities in the design and implementation of the TTS system, which are discussed throughout this paper. Several tests have been conducted to analyze the TTS system in terms of performance and speech quality.

Restricted Domain Malay Speech Synthesizer Using Syntax-Prosody Representation
The speech synthesis approach required in restricted domain speech application is a synthesizer that has high quality like the speech output of ‘slot-filler’ approach but have at least the least flexibility of the ‘genuine’ speech synthesizer. Thus, in this research study, we propose an alternative approach of creating a speech synthesizer to be used in a restricted domain speech application. I...
متن کاملCorpus-Based Unit Selection TTS for Hungarian
This paper gives an overview of the design and development of an experimental restricted domain corpus-based unit selection text-tospeech (TTS) system for Hungarian. The experimental system generates weather forecasts in Hungarian. 5260 sentences were recorded creating a speech corpus containing 11 hours of continuous speech. A Hungarian speech recognizer was applied to label speech sound bound...

Weather forecasts can be evaluated in a variety of ways. Murphy (1993) defined three kinds of forecast “goodness”: consistency, quality, and value. Consistency refers to the relationship between the forecasts and the “true beliefs” of the forecaster, quality refers to the relationship between the forecasts and weather events, and value refers to the relationship between the forecasts and the be...
متن کاملA tool for assessing the quality of the Mediterranean cyclone forecast: a numerical index
Cyclones affecting the Mediterranean region, sometimes related to severe weather events, are often not well represented enough in numerical model predictions. Assessing the quality of the forecast of these cyclonic structures would be a significant advance in better knowing the goodness of the weather forecast in this region, and particularly the quality of predictions of high impact phenomena....
