Abstract
A tool that allows researchers to combine and evaluate their contributions to
the overall system is needed for the development of high-quality speech synthesis.
A program that flexibly integrates various modules, such as grapheme-tophoneme
conversion, phoneme-to-dipltone conversion, duration and intonation
control and synt.hesis has been developed to this end . A command structure has
also been provided to obtain help, change program settings or to display results
of the different stages of the program. The system handles diphone speech synthesis
for Dutch, English and German. This paper describes the characteristics
of the experimentai system in some detail.
