Constructing concatenating speech synthesis system using realistic data from audiobook

In the past few decades, technology has advanced and made human lifestyles more convenient. One example is the Speech Synthesis System. It not only brings convenience to users, it also plays a substantially important role for user to learn foreign languages as well as provides assistance to speak on...
