VOICE SYNTHETIC METHOD OF PROVIDING VARIOUS VOICE SYNTHETIC FUNCTION CONTROLLING MANY SYNTHESIZER AND THE SYSTEM THEREOF

摘要

A speech synthesis system for providing various speech synthesis functions by controlling a plurality of synthesizers and a speech synthesis method thereof are provided to generate synthesized sound distinctively according to a user in case of an interactive system. A client unit(100) sets a text attribute to a text for speech synthesis and transmits a speech synthesis request message in a tag manner. A TTS(Text-To Speech) matching unit(110) analyzes a tag in the speech synthesis request message transmitted from the client unit and selects a corresponding synthesizer based on a result of the analysis. The TTS matching unit sends the text to be synthesized to the selected synthesizer, receives a synthesis result from the selected synthesizer and provides synthesized sound to the client unit. An integrated synthesis unit(140) includes one or more synthesizers for carrying out speech synthesis in response to a synthesis request from the TTS matching unit and outputting the synthesis result to the TTS matching unit.
