Abstract
Speech Database is one of the most important part of Text-to-speech(TTS) system Especially, the embedded TTS system needs more small size of database than that of the server TTS system So, the compression and statistical reduction or database is a very important factor in the embedded TTS system But this compression and statistical reduction of database always rise a loss of quality of the synthesised speech. In this paper, we propose a method of constructing database for high quality embedded TTS system and verify the quality of synthesised speech with MOS(Mean Opinion Score) test.
