Abstract
In this paper we would like to present a diphone-based Text-to-Speech system for the Slovak language. The system uses a synthesis kernel developed at our department, and a diphone database created for the Slovak language. The text-analysis module and the text-synthesis module are described in details. For the synthesis itself we use our synthesis kernel, therefore we are able to use various approaches during the phase of the diphone concatenation and prosody creation. An on-line demo version is available at fr330d.fri.utc.sk/tts.
