Abstract

See full text

A text-to-speech (TTS) processing system may be configured for iterative processing. Speech units for unit selection may be tagged according to extra segmental features, such as emotional features, dramatic features, etc. Preliminary TTS results based on input text may be provided to a user through a user interface. The user may offer corrections to the preliminary results. Those corrections may correspond to the extra segmental features. The user corrections may then be input into the TTS system along with the input text to provide refined TTS results. This process may be repeated iteratively to obtain desired TTS results.
