Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/151761
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In the present invention, when an acquisition unit acquires a text to be converted to speech, an assigning unit assigns a text-to-speech conversion tag which indicates a text-to-speech conversion setting to the text. An extraction unit extracts a text-to-speech conversion pattern which associates a frequently appearing text-to-speech conversion setting among the text-to-speech conversion settings indicated by the text-to-speech conversion tag, with adaptation conditions for adapting the frequently appearing text-to-speech conversion setting to the text. Subsequently, a creation unit creates synthesized speech using the text-to-speech conversion pattern, and a reproduction unit reproduces the created synthesized speech. Accordingly, work efficiency of text-to-speech conversion can be improved.
