Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a method for extracting grapheme-to-phoneme conversion rules from the transcription of speech synthesis database and a prosody modeling method using the light version of ToBI for a Korean conversational style TTS. We focused on representing the characteristics of the conversational speech style and the experimental results show that our proposed methods are suitable for developing a Korean conversional style TTS.
