Abstract
A method, device, and storage medium for converting text to speech are described. The method includes obtaining target text; synthesizing first machine speech corresponding to the target text; and selecting an asynchronous machine speech whose prosodic feature matches a prosodic feature of the first machine speech from an asynchronous machine speech library. The method also includes searching a synchronous machine speech library for a first synchronous machine speech corresponding to the asynchronous machine speech; synthesizing, based on a prosodic feature of the first synchronous machine speech, second machine speech corresponding to the target text; and selecting a second synchronous machine speech matching an acoustic feature of the second machine speech from the synchronous machine speech library. The method further includes splicing speaker speech units corresponding to the synchronous machine speech unit in a speaker speech library, to obtain a target speaker speech.
