ABSTRACT:
Diphones are prepared for text-to-speech converting by selectively pronouncing a set of selected diphones and processing each such diphone for persistent storage. Finally, each processed diphone is stored in an individually addressable manner. In particular, amongst such set as spoken by a single person, on a basis of homophony each diphone is assigned to one or more diverse languages. Sharing of selective diphones amongst more than one language diminishes required storage. The storage may entail language-specific processing qualifiers.
