Concatenative synthesis issues

We now turn to unit selection synthesis which is the dominant synthesis technique in text-to-speech today. Unit selection is the natural extension of second generation concatenative systems, and deals with the issues of how to manage large numbers of units, how to extend prosody beyond just FO and timing control, and how to alleviate the distortions caused by signal processing. [Pg.485]

Having described a number of techniques for prosodic modifcation, we turn to the final issue in second-generation synthesis, that of how to join sections of waveform successfully, such that the joins cannot be heard so that the final speech sounds smoothly continuous and not obviously concatenated. [Pg.431]
