A method for generating concatenative speech uses a speech synthesis input to populate a triphone-indexed database that is later used for searching and retrieval to create a phoneme string acceptable for a text-to-speech operation. Prior to initiating the "real time" synthesis process, a database is created of all possible triphone contexts by inputting a continuous stream of speech. The speech data is then analyzed to identify all possible triphone sequences in the stream, and the various units chosen for each context. During a later text-to-speech operation, the triphone contexts in the text are identified and the triphone-indexed phonemes in the database are searched to retrieve the best-matched candidates.
