Abstract: Prosodic databases hold fundamental frequency templates for use in a speech synthesis system. Prosodic database templates may hold fundamental frequency values for syllables in a given sentence. These fundamental frequency values may be applied in synthesizing a sentence of speech. The templates are indexed by tonal pattern markings. A predicted tonal marking pattern is generated for each sentence of text that is to be synthesized, and this predicted pattern of tonal markings is used to locate a best matching template. The templates are derived by calculating fundamental frequencies on a pursuable basis for sentences that are spoken by a human trainer for a given unlabeled corpus.

Abstract translation: 韵律数据库保存用于语音合成系统的基本频率模板。 韵律数据库模板可以在给定句子中保存音节的基本频率值。 这些基本频率值可以用于合成语音句子。 模板由色调图案标记索引。 为要合成的文本的每个句子产生预测的色调标记图案，并且使用该预测的色调标记图案来定位最佳匹配模板。 模板是通过在针对给定的未标记语料库的人类教练讲的句子的可追求的基础上计算基本频率而导出的。
