  • Abstract
    We describe an implementation of a Turkish text-to-speech system using word stress as one of the sources for prosody, with an increased number of phonemes to cover the pronunciation variations in Turkish. The implementation is based on the Festival System (Black, A. and Lenzo, K., "Building Voices in the Festival Speech Synthesis System", Carnegie Mellon University).
