  • Method device and article of manufacture for neural-network based generation of postlexical pronunciations from lexical pronunciations
    Patent number: 6134528
    Abstract: A method (2000), device (2200) and article of manufacture (2300) provide, in response to lexical pronunciation information, efficient generation of postlexical pronunciation information. A method is presented for providing, in response to a lexical pronunciation, efficient generation of a postlexical pronunciation, including the steps of: determining lexical phones, lexical features, and boundary information for a predetermined portion of text; and utilizing a pretrained neural network that was pretrained using lexical phones, postlexical phones, lexical features, and boundary information to generate a neural network hypothesis for a postlexical pronunciation of the predetermined portion of text.

  • Method, device and article of manufacture for neural-network based orthography-phonetics transformation
    Patent number: 5930754
    Abstract: A method (2000), device (2200) and article of manufacture (2300) provide, in response to orthographic information, efficient generation of a phonetic representation. The method provides for, in response to orthographic information, efficient generation of a phonetic representation, using the steps of: inputting an orthography of a word and a predetermined set of input letter features; utilizing a neural network that has been trained using automatic letter phone alignment and predetermined letter features to provide a neural network hypothesis of a word pronunciation.

  • Method, device and system for a memory-efficient random-access pronunciation lexicon for text-to-speech synthesis
    Patent number: 5930756
    Abstract: 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.
