Abstract:
Creating and deploying a voice from text-to-speech, with such voice being a new language derived from the original phoneset of a known language, and thus being audio of the new language outputted using a single TTS synthesizer. An end product message is determined in an original language n to be outputted as audio n by a text-to-speech engine, wherein the original language n includes an existing phoneset n including one or more phonemes n. Words and phrases of a new language n+1 are recorded, thereby forming audio file n+1. This new audio file is labeled into unique units, thereby defining one or more phonemes n+1. The new phonemes of the new language are added to the phoneset, thereby forming new phoneset n+1, as a result outputting the end product message as an audio n+1 language different from the original language n.
