Method, device and system for a memory-efficient random-access pronunciation lexicon for text-to-speech synthesis

摘要

A method (400, 900, 1000, 1100), device (1205, 1306) and system (1207, 1308) provide memory-efficient encoding of the random- access lexicon for a text-to-speech synthesis system. The method generates word pronunciations based on efficient retrieval of stored pronunciation information and disambiguation information for an input word, by dividing the input word into a stem and a maximal suffix having a maximal suffix code and then generating at least one word pronunciation based on the stem and the maximal suffix.
