摘要

The present invention describes an apparatus and method for generating phonetico-prosodic parameters of a predetermined message starting from a source message. The predetermined message comprises carriers and phrases. The phonetico-prosodic parameters of the carriers and the phrases are stored in a memory after having been generated off-line. The invention also comprises an apparatus and method for electronically generating a spoken message starting from phonetico-prosodic parameters, stored in said memory. The carriers comprise fixed parts and open slots filled with arguments. The phonetico-prosodic parameters of the arguments to be filled in in the open slots are generated at run time.
