摘要： The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a computer-implemented method including receiving text to be synthesized as a spoken utterance. The method includes analyzing the received text to determine attributes of the received text and selecting one or more utterances from a database based on a comparison between the attributes of the received text and attributes of text representing the stored utterances. The method includes determining, for each utterance, a distance between a contour of the utterance and a hypothetical contour of the spoken utterance, the determination based on a model that relates distances between pairs of contours of the utterances to relationships between attributes of text for the pairs. The method includes selecting a final utterance having a contour with a closest distance to the hypothetical contour and generating a contour for the received text based on the contour of the final utterance.

摘要翻译： 除了别的以外，本说明书的主题可以被实现为包括接收要被合成为语音话语的文本的计算机实现的方法。 所述方法包括分析所接收的文本，以基于所接收的文本的属性与表示所存储的话语的文本的属性之间的比较来分析接收到的文本的属性并从数据库中选择一个或多个话语。 该方法包括为每个话语确定话语轮廓与口语发音的假想轮廓之间的距离，该确定基于将话语对成对之间的距离与文本的属性之间的关系相关联的模型 对。 该方法包括选择具有与假想轮廓最近距离的轮廓的最终话语，并且基于最终话语的轮廓为接收到的文本生成轮廓。
