On building speech corpus for concatenation-based speech synthesis

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper deals with the building of a speech corpus for a concatenation-based speech synthesis. Several aspects of the building process are discussed here. We propose a sentence selection algorithm to choose sentences from a large text corpus. The selected sentences should include all possible triphones in a sufficient number of occurrences. Some notes on recording the speech are also discussed to ensure a quality speech corpus. As some popular speech synthesis techniques require knowing the moments of principal excitation of vocal tract during the speech, pitch-mark detection is also a subject of our attention. Czech phonetic transcription rules are proposed as well to convert orthographic form of selected entences to phonetic representation of speech. If a speech corpus is intended to be used for text-to-speech synthesis, it should comprise phonetic representation of speech too.
