Abstract(in English) | Speech synthesis is growing in importance as a method of providing voice-based access to digital information. This paper describes the development of personalisable and friendly-sounding voice-interfaces. In particular, it describes 'DATR', a toolkit for speech database creation for raw-waveform concatenative synthesis, and discusses the features that need to be included when creating a corpus for humansounding information presentation. In conclusion, it warns of some security and moral issues that arise when using natural-sounding recognisable-voice synthesis techniques, in order that the rights of the indiviual and the responsibility of the source-provider are taken into consideration. |
