| Research Abstract |
Communication and processing by using audio and video devices, called Multimedia communication, is developing along with the development of high speed computers and high speed communication networks. Speech synthesis and automatic speech recognition technique are being used in daily life as the high-tech human interface using speech. However, such techniques are mainly developed for languages of European countries, Japan, and China and so on. Study of speech synthesis and recognition for minor languages has not been developed yet. Therefore, in this study, we have constructed more general speech synthesis system which is usefully applied to such languages by developing the speech synthesis system of Ryukyu dialect.
