Abstract

Herein disclosed a speech synthesis apparatus for and a speech synthesis method of synthesizing a speech in accordance with text data inputted therein to output a speech consisting of recorded speech portions and synthesized speech portions with reverberation properties identical to those of the recorded speech portions in which the synthesized speech portions with reverberation properties is substantially greater in the amplitude than the recorded speech portions to reduce a feeling of strangeness due to the difference in sound quality between the recorded speech portions and the synthesized speech portions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a speech synthesis device and a speech synthesis method for synthesizing speech according to text data input therein, and in particular to such a speech synthesis device and a speech synthesis method for synthesizing speech according to text data input therein Speech to output a speech composed of a recorded speech part and a synthesized speech part having an echo characteristic consistent with the recorded speech part in order to reduce the difference in sound quality due to the recorded speech part and the synthesized speech part A strange feeling caused by being different. Background technique [0002] In recent years, various speech synthesis devices have been developed and used for synthesizing speech from text data input therein. Speech synthesis devices of this type typically include a database that operates to divide speech in a language into segments, each comprising at least one phoneme in the langua...
