Synthesis of spoken messages from semantic representations: semantic-representation-to-speech system

Published:25 August 1986Publication History

ABSTRACT

A semantic-representation-to-speech system communicates orally the information given in a semantic representation. Such a system must Integrate a text generation module, a phonetic conversion module, a prosodic module and a speech synthesizer. We will see how the syntactic information elaborated by the text generation module is used for both phonetic conversion and prosody, so as to produce the data that must be supplied to the speech synthesizer, namely a phonetic chain including prosodic information.
