ABSTRACT:
A speech synthesis system has a word lexicon stored in a storage device for managing word information, a speech lexicon stored in the storage device for managing speech data. A language processing module carries out language processing of an input text by using the word information, and an acoustic processing module generates a synthesized speech signal by using the speech data in response to a processing result of the language processing module. A D/A converter converts the synthesized speech signal to an analog signal. The system further includes a detection module detecting performance or conditions of a hardware part of a computer in which the system is implemented, and an adjustment module adjusting the word information and/or the speech data which are to be given to the language processing module and the acoustic processing module, based on a detection result of the detection module. Therefore, an optimum speech-synthesis processing suitable for any computer is performed.
