Method of generating speech from text

摘要

In a method of generating speech from text the speech segments necessary to put together the text to be output as speech by a terminal are determined; it is checked, which speech segments are already present in the terminal and which ones need to be transmitted from a server to the terminal; the segments to be transmitted to the terminal are indexed; the speech segments and the indices of segments to be output at the terminal are transmitted; an index sequence of speech segments to be put together to form the speech to be output is transmitted; and the segments are concatenated according to the index sequence. This method allows to realize a distributed speech synthesis system requiring only a low transmission capacity, a small memory and low computational power in the terminal.
