* A brief presentation of ProSynth's approach, explaining the use of a rich
hierarchical structure, implemented in XML, to integrate linguistic
information and act as the mechanism for generating natural-sounding speech.
* A closer look at the structural units identified as important for
modelling speech rhythm, and at the mechanisms (temporal
overlay/compression) used in phonetic interpretation.
* The importance of the timing model in constraining the interpretation of
a) F0 patterns
b) the segments within a syllable.
Does this sound like the information you need?
Best wishes,
Jill House
