High quality and reduced memory text-to-speech synthesis of the greek language

N. Yiourgalis, George Kokkinakis

A software, unlimited vocabulary text-to-speech synthesis system of the Greek language is presented. The system uses a cascade/parallel formant synthesizer, 125 speech segments and several new or modified techniques for segment coding, concatenation, intonation, etc., which provide a high speech quality along with a reduced memory for the control parameters.
