Abstract

In spoken language applications such as conversation systems where not only the speech waveforms but also the content of the speech (the text) need to be generated automatically, a Concept-to-Speech (CTS) system is needed. In this paper, we address several issues on designing a speech corpus to facilitate an instance-based integrated CTS framework. Both the instance-based CTS generation approach and the corpus design process have not been addressed systematically in previous researches.
