Abstract
A text-to-speech (TTS) system that is capable of considering characteristics of various portions of text data in order to create continuity between segments of synthesized speech. The system can analyze text portions of a work and create feature vectors including data corresponding to characteristics of the individual portions and/or the overall work. A TTS processing component can then consider feature vector(s) from other portions when performing TTS processing on text of a first portion, thus giving the TTS component some intelligence regarding other portions of the work, which can then result in more continuity between synthesized speech segments.
