Abstract

One of the components of the text-to-speech synthesis system is the database of sounds. Two Lithuanian diphone databases in the MBROLA format are presented in this paper. The list of phonemes and the list of diphones necessary for Lithuanian text-to-speech synthesis are described. The problem of phoneme combinations that are not used in the Lithuanian language is dealt with in the work. Also, the article is concerned with transcribing a Lithuanian text.
