本文介绍了德语文语合成系统玛丽。该系统的主要特点，即模块化设计和基于XML的系统内部数据表示，指出，并简要介绍了各个模块的属性。一个界面，允许用户访问和修改中间处理步骤，而不需要对系统的技术理解的描述，沿着的例子，这个接口可以如何投入使用的研究，开发和教学。模块化和透明的设计方法的有用性进一步说明了与情感语音合成接口的早期原型。
This paper introduces the German text-to-speech synthesis system MARY. The system's main features, namely a modular design and an XML-based system-internal data representation, are pointed out, and the properties of the individual modules are briefly presented. An interface allowing the user to access and modify intermediate processing steps without the need for a technical understanding of the system is described, along with examples of how this interface can be put to use in research, development and teaching. The usefulness of the modular and transparent design approach is further illustrated with an early prototype of an interface for emotional speech synthesis.
