In order to synthesize more natural speech with Japanese text-to-speech systems, we improve accent sandhi rules. The conventional Japanese accent sandhi rules lack rules related to numerals and counter words in conventional rules. In this paper, we comprehensively improved the accent sandhi rules as well as those related to numerals and counter words, concerning accent rules related to word combinations described in the Japanese accent dictionaries. Then, accent estimation experiments were conducted using the conventional and improved rules to evaluate the accuracy of the estimation by the two types of rules. The effectiveness and problems of the accent sandhi rules themselves and improved rules were discussed by analyzing the experimental results.
