Abstract
In order to produce a high quality (intelligibility and naturalness) synthesized speech, it is very important to get an accurate grapheme-to-phoneme conversion and prosody model. In this paper, we analyzed Chinese texts using a segmentation, POS tagging and unknown word recognition. We present a grapheme-to-phoneme conversion using a dictionary-based and rule-based method. We constructed a prosody model using a probabilistic method and a decision tree-based error correction method. According to the result from the above analysis, we can successfully select and concatenate exact synthesis unit of syllables from the Chinese Synthesis DB.
