The present invention provides a text-to-speech conversion system (TTS) forinterlockingsynchronizingwith multimedia and a method for organizing input data of the TTS which can enhance thenaturalnaturalnessof synthesized speech and accomplish the synchronization of multimedia with TTS by defining additional prosody information, the information required tointerlocksynchronizeTTS with multimedia, and interface betweenthesethisinformation and TTS for use in the production of the synthesized speech.

Text-to speech conversion system for synchronizing between synthesized speech and a moving picture in a multimedia environment and a method of the same

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.

System for synchronization between moving picture and a text-to-speech converter

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.
