Abstract

The paper gives an overall discussion on problems in Chinese natural speech generation. We considered not only how to convert text into speech but also how to generate the necessary text in text-to-speech conversion. A Chinese bi-directional grammar is developed to suit for Chinese language understanding and generation. The system gets the right text and generates speech which has good quality of naturalness and intelligibility using the Chinese text-to speech conversion system
