Abstract

A new set of the units of demi-syllables is presented for Korean speech synthesis. The performance of the set of demi-syllable units is compared with that of the set of syllable units in the aspects of the quality of synthesized speech using each set of the units and the size of the computer memory which each set of units occupies. The set of demi-syllable units achieves comparable speech quality and occupies smaller memory size than the set of syllable units.
