| Abstract(in English) | The paper presents a corpus-based method for generating prosodic features from a given text. The method consists of three steps : First, position and duration of pauses are predicted using linguistic information extracted from the text. Then, phone durations are predicted, and finally F0 contour generation process model (F0 model) parameters (command timings and amplitudes) are predicted. Information predicted in preceding steps is used for the following steps, thus obtaining the consistency between predicted prosodic features. By adding constraints on the accent command timings as a post processing, a better quality was realized in synthetic speech when predicted prosodic features were used. Validity of the developed method was confirmed through a listening test of synthetic speech. |
