1. A computer-implemented method for generating synthesized speech, comprising the steps of searching over a database that contains pre-recorded utterances to select a best-matched pre-recorded utterance that best matches text content to be synthesized into speech;

  • dividing the best-matched pre-recorded utterance into a plurality of segments comprising remaining segments that are the same as corresponding parts of the text content and difference segments that are different from corresponding parts of the text content;

    synthesizing speech for the parts of the text content corresponding to the difference segments to generate synthesized speech segments; and

    splicing the synthesized speech segments of the parts of the text content corresponding to the difference segments with the remaining segments of the selected pre-recorded utterance.
