Abstract

See full text

A voice animation system decomposes pre-recorded samples of actual speech into basic segments to derive speech patterns of a particular speaker to provide parameters and coefficients for use in a text-to-speech synthesizer to artificially synthesize human quality speech with unlimited vocabulary in the voice of the person who provided the pre-recorded samples. The pre-recorded speech samples are further processed to add desired inflection and other auditory effects to create high-quality animated or artificial voices.
