This paper gives an overview of the design and development of an experimental restricted domain corpus-based unit selection text-to-speech (TTS) system for Hungarian The experimental system generates weather forecasts in Hungarian 5260 sentences were recorded creating a speech corpus containing 11 hours of continuous speech A Hungarian speech recognizer was applied to label speech sound boundaries Word boundaries were also marked automatically The unit selection follows a top-down hierarchical scheme using words and speech sounds as units A simple prosody model is used, based on the relative position of words within a prosodic phrase The quality of the system was compared to two earlier Hungarian TTS systems A subjective listening test was performed by 221 listeners The experimental system scored 3.92 on a five-point mean opinion score (MOS) scale The earlier unit concatenation TTS system scored 2.63, the formant synthesizer scored 1.24, and natural speech scored 4.86. |
