Methods, Systems, and Products for Synthesizing Speech
Methods, Systems, and Products are disclosed for synthesizing speech. Text is received for translation to speech. The text is correlated to phrases, and each phrase is converted into a corresponding string of phonemes. A phoneme identifier is retrieved that uniquely represents each phoneme in the string of phonemes. Each phoneme identifier is concatenated to produce a sequence of phoneme identifiers with each phoneme identifier separated by a comma. Each sequence of phoneme identifiers is concatenated and separated by a semi-colon.
