| Abstract: | The model of prosody used in the Aculab TTS system is unusual in several respects. Firstly, it is based firmly on current metrical theories of prosody. Secondly, it is entirely knowledge-based: there are no stochastic components in the model. Thirdly, it makes use of a quasi-random element to avoid the predictability of conventional synthetic prosody. Fourthly, it is specifically designed for multilingual use: it currently handles several Germanic and Romance languages. |
