This voice provides a British RP English male voice using the MBROLA
|
|
|
|
|
wave synthesis method (via the MBROLA package). It uses a modified
|
|
|
|
|
Oxford Advanced Learners' Dictionary for pronunciations. Prosodic
|
|
|
|
|
phrasing is provided by a statistically trained model using part
|
|
|
|
|
of speech and local distribution of breaks. Intonation is provided
|
|
|
|
|
by a CART tree predicting ToBI accents and an F0 contour generated
|
|
|
|
|
from a model trained from natural speech. The duration model is
|
|
|
|
|
also trained from data using a CART tree.
