Abstract

The invention discloses a phonetic segmentation method and device for speech synthesis, wherein the method comprises: acquiring corpus text and converting it into a pinyin sequence, wherein the pinyin sequence comprises a plurality of phones, each having multiple states; segmenting speech data corresponding to the corpus text into multiple speech frames, and acquiring acoustic features of the speech frames; with respect to each state, clustering the speech frames according to the acoustic features, and generating multiple nodes corresponding to the state; calculating an optimal path corresponding to the pinyin sequence based on a dynamic programming algorithm and a two-dimensional state network, and segmenting the pinyin sequence according to the optimal path. The phonetic segmentation method and device for speech synthesis in embodiments of the invention enables the accuracy of pinyin sequence segmentation, thus improving the reliability of a speech synthesis acoustic model and enable speech in text-to-speech conversion to be smoother and more natural.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of text-to-speech conversion, in particular to a phonetic segmentation method and device for speech synthesis. Background technique [0002] Speech synthesis, also known as text-to-speech technology, is a technology that can convert text information into speech and read it aloud. The main evaluation indicators of speech synthesis system performance mainly include intelligibility and fluency. The existing speech synthesis system has basically matured in terms of intelligibility, but there is still a certain gap between the fluency and the real pronunciation of people. In order to be able to synthesize more fluent and natural speech, it is necessary to have high accuracy in the segmentation of sounds (such as initials and finals). If the phoneme is segmented incorrectly, the established acoustic model may be unreliable, which in turn may result in wrong speech fragments being obtained when synthesizing speec...
