Abstract:
According to an embodiment, a speech synthesis device includes a first storage, a second storage, a first generator, a second generator, a third generator, and a fourth generator. The first storage is configured to store therein first information obtained from a target uttered voice. The second storage is configured to store therein second information obtained from an arbitrary uttered voice. The first generator is configured to generate third information by converting the second information so as to be close to a target voice quality or prosody. The second generator is configured to generate an information set including the first information and the third information. The third generator is configured to generate fourth information used to generate a synthesized speech, based on the information set. The fourth generator configured to generate the synthesized speech corresponding to input text using the fourth information.
