Abstract :
This paper focuses research on the key technology of speech synthesis system based on HMM (Hidden Markov Model). With the help of HTK and Festival, three English sentences are synthesized. To improve the effect of HMM, a definition of label sequence format is described in detail. According to the definition, the results of this system are obtained. From the waveforms of the synthesized speech and the listening test, the synthesized speech is clear, understandable and naturally.
