【発明の名称】音声合成方法および装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3083640
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Synthesized speech is generated by a software-implemented system with a programmed central processing unit. Phonetic parameters are generated from a series of phonetic symbols of an input text to be converted into synthesized speech, and prosodic parameters are also generated from prosodic information of the input text. The activity ratio of the central processing unit is determined, and the order of phonetic parameters or the arrangement of a synthesis unit or filter for speech synthesis is determined depending on the determined activity ratio of the central processing unit. Synthesized speech sounds are generated and filtered based on the phonetic and prosodic parameters according to the determined order of phonetic parameters or the determined arrangement of the filter.
