Abstract: In a speech synthesis technique used in a network (110, 115), a set of text words is accepted by a speech engine software function (210) in a client device (105). From the set of text words, an invalid subset of text words is determined for which the text words are not in a word synthesis dictionary of the client device. The invalid subset of text words is transmitted over the network to a server device (120), which generates a set of word pronunciations including at least a portion of the text words of the invalid subset of text words and pronunciations associated with each of the text words. The client device uses the pronunciations for speech synthesis and may store them in a local word synthesis dictionary (220) stored in a memory (150) of the client device.

Abstract: A method (400), device and system (300) provide, in response to linguistic information, efficient generation of a parametric representation of speech using a neural network. The method provides, in response to linguistic information efficient generation of a refined parametric representation of speech, comprising the steps of: A) using a data selection module to retrieve representative parameter vectors for each segment description according to the phonetic segment type and the phonetic segment types included in adjacent segment descriptions; B) interpolating between the representative parameter vectors according to the segment descriptions and duration to provide interpolated statistical parameters; C) converting the interpolated statistical parameters and linguistic information to neural network input parameters; D) utilizing a statistically enhanced neural network/neural network with post-processor to provide neural network output parameters that correspond to a parametric representation of speech; and converting the neural network output parameters to a refined parametric representation of speech.

Abstract: A method (500, 600), device (201 and 206) and system (203) provide, in response to text/linguistic information, efficient generation of a parametric representation of speech. A coder parameter generating system provides a principal set and a supplementary set of speech parameters, the principal set of speech parameters being the parametric representation of speech. Then feedback is provided to the coder parameter generating system using the supplementary set of speech parameters to modify the principal set of speech parameters.
