In one embodiment of a controllable prosody re-estimation system, a TTS/STS engine consists of a prosody prediction/estimation module, a prosody re-estimation module and a speech synthesis module. The prosody prediction/estimation module generates predicted or estimated prosody information. And then the prosody re-estimation module re-estimates the predicted or estimated prosody information and produces new prosody information, according to a set of controllable parameters provided by a controllable prosody parameter interface. The new prosody information is provided to the speech synthesis module to produce a synthesized speech.
