Abstract

See full text

A speech-synthesizing device includes a hierarchical prosodic module, a prosody-analyzing device, and a prosody-synthesizing unit. The hierarchical prosodic module generates at least a first hierarchical prosodic model. The prosody-analyzing device receives a low-level linguistic feature, a high-level linguistic feature and a first prosodic feature, and generates at least a prosodic tag based on the low-level linguistic feature, the high-level linguistic feature, the first prosodic feature and the first hierarchical prosodic model. The prosody-synthesizing unit synthesizes a second prosodic feature based on the hierarchical prosodic module, the low-level linguistic feature and the prosodic tag.
