Sparte: A text-to-speech machine using synthesis by diphones
Abstract:
An operational synthesis system for the French language has been developed at the CNET. Vocal output of any message in the language may be obtained from input typed on a keyboard. This speech synthesis equipment is built in an autonomous cabinet of fairly small dimensions; it can also be used as a single board with a V24-RS232 connection. The device consists of the following items: a keyboard, a display and a built-in loudspeaker, a linear prediction synthesizer, 1200 diphones. The software implemented on a microprocessor includes algorithms for orthographic-phonetic translation and systematic prosody processing; automatic syntactic analysis has been simulated and will soon be implemented. The vocal message is obtained in real time; the synthesized speech is intelligible and fairly natural.
