ABSTRACT:
A system and computer-readable medium synthesize speech from text using a triphone unit selection database. The instructions on the computer-readable medium control a computing device to perform the steps: receiving input text, selecting a plurality of N phoneme units from the triphone unit selection database as candidate phonemes for synthesized speech based on the input text, applying a cost process to select a set of phonemes from the candidate phonemes and synthesizing speech using the selected set of phonemes.
