Abstract
In this paper, we propose a Korean sentence symbol preprocessor for a SSML (speech synthesis markup language) supported speech synthesis system in order to improve the quality of the synthesized result. After the analysis of Korean Wikipedia documents, we propose 8 categories for the meaning of sentence symbols and 11 regular expression for the classification of each category. After the development of a Korean sentence symbol preprocess system we archived 56% of precision and 71.45% of recall ratio for 63,000 sentences.
