Abstract:
The present invention provides a parametric speech synthesis method and a parametric speech synthesis system. The method comprises sequentially processing each frame of speech of each phone in a phone sequence of an input text as follows: for a current phone, extracting a corresponding statistic model from a statistic model library and using model parameters of the statistic model that correspond to the current frame of the current phone as rough values of currently predicted speech parameters; according to the rough values and information about a predetermined number of speech frames occurring before the current time point, obtaining smoothed values of the currently predicted speech parameters; according to global mean values and global standard deviation ratios of the speech parameters obtained through statistics, performing global optimization on the smoothed values of the speech parameters to generate necessary speech parameters; and synthesizing the generated speech parameters to obtain a frame of speech synthesized for the current frame of the current phone. With this solution, the capacity of an RAM needed by speech synthesis will not increase with the length of the synthesized speech, and the time length of the synthesized speech is no longer limited by the RAM.
