Abstract

A Text analysis is the text to speech conversion system front-end, restricting the naturalness of speech synthesis is an important factor, this paper, study Chinese language text analysis program, based on the analysis of the characteristics of Tibetan language, proposed a set of speech synthesis for Tibetan text analysis module implementations. Maximum matching method used in the text and sub-word lexicon to achieve the method of combining text, automatic word segmentation, the establishment of a hierarchical system of rules for the conduct of standardized text processing, word pronunciation conversion through the SAMPA_ST standard pronunciation of the Tibetan Machine system implementation, The paper has laid a good foundation for the Tibetan speech synthesis.
