为了标志着十年来开发高性能文本转语音算法的努力的完成，我们建立了一个名为“MITalk”的基准系统。计算机模拟基准的组成部分包括：(1) 缩写和特殊文本符号的转换，(2) 由大约 11 000 个带有发音和词性的变形组成的词典，(3) 语素分析，(4) 字母到声音的规则，(5) 句法分析，(6) 重音分配、边界放置和语音重新编码的规则，(7) 基频和分段持续时间预测，(8)语音到参数的转换，以及（9）数字共振峰合成。 MITalk-79 系统正在被广泛记录并正在评估其性能。该演示将总结系统组织和性能的各个方面。 （更完整的描述将在 1979 年 6 月 25 日至 29 日提供的为期一周的课程中给出。）口头演示将包括由英语生成的合成语音的五分钟演示......
To mark the completion of a ten‐year effort to develop a high performance text‐to‐speech algorithm, we have established a benchmark system called “MITalk.” Components of the computer‐simulated bench mark include: (1) conversion of abbreviations and special text symbols, (2) a lexicon consisting of about 11 000 morphs with pronunciation and parts of speech, (3) morpheme analysis, (4) letter‐to‐sound rules, (5) syntactic analysis, (6) rules for stress assignment, boundary placement and phonological recoding, (7) fundamental frequency and segmental duration prediction, (8) phonetic‐to‐parametric conversion, and (9) digital formant synthesis. The MITalk‐79 system is being extensively documented and its performance is being evaluated. The presentation will summarize aspects of system organization and performance. (A more complete description will be given in a one‐week course to be offered June 25–29, 1979.) The oral presentation will include a five‐minute demonstration of synthetic speech generated from Engli...
