Abstract
A method for the selection of synthesis units of a piece of information that can be decomposed into synthesis units, comprises at least the following steps for a considered information segment: determining the mean fundamental frequency value F0 for the information segment considered; selecting a sub-set of synthesis units defined as being the sub-set whose mean pitch values are the closest to the pitch value F0; applying one or more proximity criteria to the selected synthesis units to determine a synthesis unit representing the information segment.
