ABSTRACT:
The present invention automatically determines sound duration values, based on context, for phonetic symbols which are produced during text-to-speech conversion. The context-dependent and static attributes of the phonetic symbols are checked and specified. Then, the phonetic symbols are processed by a set of sequential duration-specification rules which set the duration value for each phonetic symbol.
