Abstract

Text to speech synthesis systems must have a module to insert breaks that are not indicated in the text. In this paper an algorithm to insert breaks for standard Basque is developed. This algorithm uses morphology, syntax and information about the grammatical case. The algorithm has been evaluated both objectively and subjectively and the results confirm that this kind of information is suitable to make the prediction of the location of the breaks in standard Basque. All three types of information contribute to the improvements of the results of the algorithm.
