Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the conventional conventional method, in order to deal with various label information, it is necessary to generate a plurality of templates in advance, and a lot of man-hours are required for preparation in advance.
Although there is also a technology to automatically generate templates through machine learning, in this method, training data and correct data for machine learning need to be prepared separately, which is cumbersome

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0029] figure 1 It is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the speech synthesis device 1 of the present embodiment. The speech synthesis device 1 of the present embodiment can be realized as a server on a network, for example, and provides a Web page service to a user terminal 2 connected to the network as a client. The user terminal 2 is information equipment such as a personal computer, a tablet terminal, and a smart phone used by a user, and various resources constituting a computer system such as a CPU and a memory, hardware such as a display device, a speaker, and various input devices, and an OS (operating system) are installed. ) and various software such as web browsers.

[0030] In addition, the speech synthesis device 1 of the present embodiment does not need to be configured as a single device, but may be configured as a system in which a plurality of devices operate in cooperation. Furthermore, the speech synthesis device 1 may also be realized as...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0116] Next, a second embodiment will be described. The configuration of the content selection unit of the speech synthesis device of the second embodiment is different from that of the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the speech synthesis device of the second embodiment will be described as "the speech synthesis device 1'" to distinguish it from the first embodiment, and the characteristic content selection unit of the speech synthesis device 1' will be referred to as the content selection unit 60. , in order to distinguish it from the first embodiment. The configuration other than that is the same as that of the first embodiment, so that the description overlapping with the first embodiment will be appropriately omitted below, and the characteristic content selection unit 60 of this embodiment will be described.

[0117] Figure 15 It is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the content selection unit 60 . Content selection section 60 such as Figure 15 Shown ...

Abstract

According to an embodiment, a voice synthesizer includes a content selection unit, a content generation unit, and a content registration unit. The content selection unit determines selected content among a plurality of pieces of content registered in a content storage unit. The content includes tagged text in which tag information for controlling voice synthesis is added to text serving as a target of the voice synthesis. The content generation unit applies the tag information in the tagged text included in the selected content to designated text to generate new content. The content registration unit registers the generated new content in the content storage unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sound synthesis device and a sound synthesis method. Background technique [0002] In the field of voice synthesis, for example, a method of generating a voice waveform of a synthesized voice from tagged text is known as an effective method for obtaining a desired synthesized voice accompanied by various emotional expressions. The tagged text is text in which tag information described in a markup language is added to the text to be synthesized. Tag information is information for controlling speech synthesis for text surrounded by tags. Based on the tag information, the speech synthesis engine can obtain a desired synthesized speech by, for example, selecting a dictionary used for speech synthesis and adjusting prosodic parameters. [0003] The tagged text can be generated by the user adding tag information to the text using an editor, but the user's work is cumbersome in this method. Therefore, it is common to apply a pre-...
