  • Abstract
    An algorithm for modeling and generating prosody from a written text is described in this paper. Among the several speech processing areas which could benefit of this algorithm, in this paper we have dealt with text to speech synthesis (TTS). An experimental evaluation of the algorithm has been carried out and it has been shown that the naturalness of the produced speech has greatly improved.
