Title
Building Text-To-Speech Voices in the Cloud.
Abstract
The AT&T VOICEBUILDER provides a new tool to researchers and practitioners who want to have their voices synthesized by a high-quality commercial-grade text-to-speech system without the need to install, configure, or manage speech processing software and equipment. It is implemented as a web service on the AT&T Speech Mashup Portal. The system records and validates users' utterances, processes them to build a synthetic voice and provides a web service API to make the voice available to real-time applications through a scalable cloud-based processing platform. All the procedures are automated to avoid human intervention. We present experimental comparisons of voices built using the system.
