Abstract

Presents a new synthesis scheme for voice transaction processing application. The system makes use of concatenation of previously recorded messages with synthetic speech segments generated by a text to speech converter. Text to speech conversion is made pitch synchronously overlapping and adding diphones and triphone speech units, and is used only for unpredictable vocabulary e.g. names, addresses, account numbers, etc
