FIXED FORM SENTENCE CORPUS CREATING DEVICE, METHOD, AND RECORD MEDIUM THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently create a fixed form sentence corpus to be accumulated in a speech data base used for generating a synthetic speech. SOLUTION: Fixed form words and a position of an arbitrary word to be inserted between the fixed form words are inputted from the fixed form word input circuit 1. The attribute of the arbitrary word inserted and the insertion position are inputted from an arbitrary word input circuit 2. An arbitrary word selection part 3 retrieves a word dictionary 4, and selects and extracts all the words having the same attribute as the inputted arbitrary word from the registered words. A fixed form sentence creation part 5 inserts each of the words extracted by the arbitrary word selection part 3 between the fixed form words respectively and generates a fixed form sentence. The created fixed form sentences are each outputted from a fixed form sentence output part 6, and accumulated in a data base 10 provided in the speech synthesis device connected through a LAN, etc.
