Interactive debugging and tuning method for CTTS voice building
First Claim
1. A method for debugging and tuning synthesized audio, comprising the steps of:
- displaying a waveform corresponding to synthesized audio generated from concatenated phonetic units;
displaying parameters corresponding to at least one of the phonetic units;
displaying original recording containing selected phonetic unit;
receiving an editing input from the user; and
adjusting the parameters in accordance with the editing input.

Abstract
A method, a system, and an apparatus for identifying and correcting sources of problems in synthesized speech which is generated using a concatenative text-to-speech (CTTS) technique. The method can include the step of displaying a waveform corresponding to synthesized speech generated from concatenated phonetic units. The synthesized speech can be generated from text input received from a user. The method further can include the step of displaying parameters corresponding to at least one of the phonetic units. The method can include the step of displaying the original recordings containing selected phonetic units. An editing input can be received from the user and the parameters can be adjusted in accordance with the editing input.
