简介
In this paper, we discuss a consortium effort on building text to speech (TTS) systems for 13 Indian languages. There are about 1652 Indian languages. A unified framework is therefore attempted required for building TTSes for Indian languages. As Indian languages are syllable-timed, a syllable-based framework is developed. As quality of speech synthesis is of paramount interest, unit-selection synthesizers are built. Building TTS systems for low-resource languages requires that the data be carefully collected an annotated as the database has to be built from the scratch. Various criteria have to addressed while building the database, namely, speaker selection, pronunciation variation, optimal text selection, handling of out of vocabulary words and so on. The various characteristics of the voice that affect speech synthesis quality are first analysed. Next the design of the corpus of each of the Indian languages is …
