Title: Developing new language tools for MaryTTS: the case of Luxembourgish
Authors: Ingmar Steiner, Sébastien Le Maguer, Judith Manzoni, Peter Gilles, Jürgen Trouvain
Abstract:
We present new methods and resources which have been used to create
a text to speech (TTS) synthesis system for the Luxembourgish language. The
system uses the MaryTTS platform, which is extended with new natural language
processing (NLP) components. We designed and recorded a multilingual, phonetically
balanced speech corpus, and used it to build a new Luxembourgish synthesis
voice. All speech data and software has been published under an open-source license
and is freely available online.
