Abstract

This paper describes recent developments at NTT in the areas of speech recognition, speech synthesis, and interactive voice systems as they relate to telecommunications applications. Speaker-independent largevocabulary speech recognition based on context-dependent phone models and LR parser, and high-quality text-to-speech (TTS) conversion using the waveform concatenation method, both realized as software, have enabled interactive voice systems for fast and easy prototyping of telephone-based applications. Practical applications are discussed with examples.
