Abstract

Disclosed is a method of defining text content for speech segmentation. The method comprises defining a set of speech units (which may comprise vowel and or consonant phonemes) for a given natural language. Further, for each speech unit of the set of speech units, determining one or more words in the given natural language that comprise the speech unit, wherein the one or more words comprise at least one of at least one word in which the speech unit is located substantially at a beginning portion, a middle portion and an end portion of the at least one word, and for each speech unit of the set of speech units, selecting, from amongst the determined one or more words, at least one word comprising the speech unit to form a word-set to be employed in the text content, wherein the at least one word is selected based upon at least one predefined selection criterion. This reduces the number of words which need to be recorded to enable a text to speech system to operate.
