New perspectives, ideas and experimental results on Text-to-Speech synthesis.
- Applications of TTS proliferate our lives increasing the demand for seasoned engineers.
- Explains the major technological paradigm shift recently in how speech synthesis is done: going from rule-based to explicit data-driven methods.
- Authors are from the federally funded IMSC research program at USC, and the book will be featured on the IMSC Press Website.
