Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices to improve the quality of synthetic speech generation. A system selects speech units from a speech unit database, the speech units corresponding to text to be converted to speech. The system identifies a desired prosodic curve of speech produced from the selected speech units, and also identifies an actual prosodic curve of the speech units. The selected speech units are modified such that a new prosodic curve of the modified speech units matches the desired prosodic curve. The system stores the modified speech units into the speech unit database for use in generating future speech, thereby increasing the prosodic coverage of the database with the expectation of improving the output quality.

Claim (Index 18):
The non-transitory computer-readable storage device  claim 17 , wherein the non-transitory computer-readable storage device stores additional instructions stored which, when executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations further comprising:\n selecting, via a processor, the speech units from a speech unit database, where the speech units are used to generate speech correspond to text.
