  • Text-to-speech conversion system for interlocking with multimedia and a method for organizing input data of the same
    Patent number: 6088673
    Abstract: The present invention provides a text-to-speech conversion system (TTS) for interlocking with multimedia and a method for organizing input data of the TTS which can enhance the natural of synthesized speech and accomplish the synchronization of multimedia with TTS by defining additional prosody information, the information required to interlock TTS with multimedia, and interface between these information and TTS for use in the production of the synthesized speech.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 9, 1998
    Date of Patent: July 11, 2000
    Assignee: Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute
    Inventors: Jung Chul Lee, Min Soo Hahn, Hang Seop Lee
  • System for synchronization between moving picture and a text-to-speech converter
    Patent number: RE42000
    Abstract: A method of formatting and normalizing continuous lip motions to events in a moving picture besides text in a Text-To-Speech converter is provided. A synthesized speech is synchronized with a moving picture by using the method wherein the real speech data and the shape of a lip in the moving picture are analyzed, and information on the estimated lip shape and text information are directly used in generating the synthesized speech.
