Sažetak
This paper presents the development of a Croatian text-to-speech system capable of synthesizing speech from arbitrary text. Input text in normalized form is first transcribed into a phonetic string (grapheme-to-phoneme conversion) and then processed by a TD-PSOLA based synthesizer. A procedure for automatic selection of diphones from a spoken corpus is proposed. A Croatian language diphone database was built for the system. Subjective quality evaluations of the resulting speech were performed, as well as tests for intelligibility.
