Abstract
According to an embodiment, a text-to-speech device includes a context acquirer, an acoustic model parameter acquirer, a conversion parameter acquirer, a converter, and a waveform generator. The context acquirer is configured to acquire a context sequence affecting fluctuations in voice. The acoustic model parameter acquirer is configured to acquire an acoustic model parameter sequence that corresponds to the context sequence and represents an acoustic model in a standard speaking style of a target speaker. The conversion parameter acquirer is configured to acquire a conversion parameter sequence corresponding to the context sequence to convert an acoustic model parameter in the standard speaking style into one in a different speaking style. The converter is configured to convert the acoustic model parameter sequence using the conversion parameter sequence. The waveform generator is configured to generate a voice signal based on the acoustic model parameter sequence acquired after conversion.
