A Hybrid Method Oriented to Concatenative Text-to-Speech Synthesis

In this paper we present a speech synthesis method for diphonebased text-to-speech systems. Its main goal is to achieve prosodic modifications that result in more natural-sounding synthetic speech. This improvement is especially useful for emotional speech synthesis, which requires high-quality pros...
