Abstract :
The aim of the proposed paper is to discuss how to model representations of both fundamental frequency and suprasegmental duration in TTS converters for Spanish. For this purpose we use a data-driven methodology that is able to represent both fundamental frequency and suprasegmental duration in order to model the prosody of a text-to-speech system for Spanish
