Abstract
Systems and techniques are disclosed for synthesizing a new word or short phrase such that it blends seamlessly in the context of insertion or replacement in an existing narration. In one such embodiment, a text-to-speech synthesizer is utilized to say the word or phrase in a generic voice. Voice conversion is then performed on the generic voice to convert it into a voice that matches the narration. An editor and interface are described that support fully automatic synthesis, selection among a candidate set of alternative pronunciations, fine control over edit placements and pitch profiles, and guidance by the editors own voice.
