System and method for supporting text-to-speech
A system for generating high-quality synthesized text-to-speech includes a learning data generating unit, a frequency data generating unit, and a setting unit. The learning data generating unit recognizes inputted speech, and then generates first learning data in which wordings of phrases are associated with readings thereof. The frequency data generating unit generates, based on the first learning data, frequency data indicating appearance frequencies of both wordings and readings of phrases. The setting unit sets the thus generated frequency data for a language processing unit in order to approximate outputted speech of text-to-speech to the inputted speech. Furthermore, the language processing unit generates, from a wording of text, a reading corresponding to the wording, on the basis of the appearance frequencies.
