发明名称 SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UNIT SELECTION TEXT-TO-SPEECH USING A MODIFIED VITERBI APPROACH
摘要 Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for speech synthesis. A system practicing the method receives a set of ordered lists of speech units, for each respective speech unit in each ordered list in the set of ordered lists, constructs a sublist of speech units from a next ordered list which are suitable for concatenation, performs a cost analysis of paths through the set of ordered lists of speech units based on the sublist of speech units for each respective speech unit, and synthesizes speech using a lowest cost path of speech units through the set of ordered lists based on the cost analysis. The ordered lists can be ordered based on the respective pitch of each speech unit. In one embodiment, speech units which do not have an assigned pitch can be assigned a pitch.
