ABSTRACT:
A method of formatting and normalizing continuous lip motions to events in a moving picture besides text in a Text-To-Speech converter is provided. A synthesized speech is synchronized with a moving picture by using the method wherein the real speech data and the shape of a lip in the moving picture are analyzed, and information on the estimated lip shape and text information are directly used in generating the synthesized speech.
