Abstract

From the Publisher:Current work in speech synthesis is in an interesting double position. At the same time as increasingly natural-sounding speech synthesis, systems are being implemented for many of the world's languages on the basis of existing, increasingly well understood concatentative technology. This technology entails some inherent limitations, and research on further improvements is still proceeding rapidly. This volume is an accumulation of studies emanating from COST 258, a European Action concerned with the issues in the improvement of speech synthesis.*Addresses the issues involved in improving the output quality when producing speech synthesis for world languages*Written by leading European researchers throughout academia and industry*Presents research results of COST 258*Areas covered include Improving Signal Generation, Improving Prosody and Tonal Quality and Improving and Supporting the Modelling ProcessResearchers and Engineers in speech synthesis, telecommunications and computer science will find the thorough coverage of this leading edge topic to be a valuable reference resource, and this text would also be of interest to academics and postgraduate students in the presentation of the most up-to-date research in this field.
