Abstract

This paper presents the design of the text analysis component of a TTS system for the Romanian language. Our text analysis is performed in two steps: document structure detection and text normalization. The output is a tree-based representation of the processed data. Parsing is made efficient with the help of the Boost Spirit LL parser [1], the usage of this tool allowing for a greater flexibility in the source code and in the output representation.
