Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum akustischen Ausgeben von Text und ein Sprachausgabesystem, das eine akustische Ausgabe von Text erlaubt.The invention relates to a method for acoustic output of text and a speech system that has an acoustic Text output allowed.
Aus der Offenlegungsschrift DE 195 03 419 A1 ist die akustische Ausgabe von digital codierten Verkehrsmeldungen mittels synthetisch erzeugter Sprache bekannt. Ortsbezogene Wörter werden in derjenigen Sprache an eine Sprachsynthese-Einrichtung weitergeleitet, in der die zugehörigen Sätze aus einem Speicher entnommen wurden. Eine Anpassung von fremdsprachigen Wörtern an den Klang der zugehörigen Sätze erfolgt durch eine Prosodie-Konversion.The acoustic is from the published patent application DE 195 03 419 A1 Output of digitally coded traffic reports using known synthetically generated language. Location related words are sent to a speech synthesis facility in that language forwarded in the related sentences were taken from a memory. An adaptation of foreign language Words made to the sound of the associated sentences through a prosody conversion.
Aus dem Textverarbeitungsprogramm Nisus® Writer von Nisus Software, Inc. ist eine Sprachausgabe oder ein "Vorlesen" von geschriebenem Text bekannt. Für jede Sprache, in der ein Text akustisch ausgegeben werden kann, steht ein eigener Sprachumwandlungs-Algorithmus (Text-to-speach-Algorithmus) zur Verfügung. Ein solcher Algorithmus wandelt Schriftzeichen in aufeinanderfolgende Phoneme oder Wortsilben um. Der Benutzer kann aus einem Menü für eine bestimmte Sprache den entsprechenden Sprachumwandlungs-Algorithmus wählen. Liegt der Text in einer Sprache vor, für die der Sprachumwandlungs-Algorithmus nicht bestimmt ist, so ist die Sprachausgabe nicht verständlich.From the Nisus® Writer word processor Software, Inc. is a speech or "reading aloud" from written text known. For every language in which a text can be output acoustically, there is a separate language conversion algorithm (Text-to-speach algorithm). Such an algorithm converts characters into successive ones Phonemes or syllables around. The user can choose from a menu for a specific language Select the language conversion algorithm. Is the text in a language for which the speech conversion algorithm is not determined, so is the speech output not understandable.
Bei verschiedenen Anwendungen ist es unvorteilhaft, wenn eine Benutzeraktion erforderlich ist, um für einen Text in einer bestimmten Sprache den dazugehörigen Sprachumwandlungs-Algorithmus auszuwählen. Insbesondere in einem Kraftfahrzeug wird der Sicherheitsvorteil für einen Fahrzeugführer, der in der akustischen Ausgabe eines Texts liegt, wenigstens teilweise zunichte gemacht, wenn der Fahrzeugführer zunächst die Sprache des Textes überprüfen muß und anschließend den entsprechenden Sprachumwandlungs-Algorithmus suchen und auswählen muß.In various applications, it is disadvantageous if one User response is required in order for a text in a specific language the associated language conversion algorithm to select. Especially in a motor vehicle becomes the safety benefit for a driver operating in the acoustic output of a text is, at least partially destroyed if the driver first the Check the language of the text and then the corresponding one Find and select the speech conversion algorithm got to.
In der Patentanmeldung EP 0 889 626 Al ist ein Nachrichtenübermittlungssystem für Fernsprechteilnehmer bekannt, bei dem ein System für aufgezeichnete akustische Nachrichten (voice mail) mit einem E-mail-System gekoppelt ist. E-mails können akustisch an einen Teilnehmer ausgegeben werden. Um für die Sprachausgabe den richtigen Sprachumwandlungs-Algorithmus wählen zu können, werden E-mails auf Buchstabenkombinationen mit drei aufeinanderfolgenden Buchstaben untersucht. Aufgrund der Häufigkeit des Auftretens der Buchstabenkombinationen werden Rückschlüsse auf die verwendete Sprache gezogen. Dieses Verfahren benötigt erheblichen Aufwand für die Implementierung des Systems. Es müssen in einem solchen System erhebliche Ressourcen an Speicher und Rechenleistung für den Programmablauf und für entsprechende Bibliotheken zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Dies ist insbesondere bei Anwendungen in Kraftfahrzeugen unerwünscht. Außerdem ist eine zuverlässige Unterscheidung zwischen ähnlichen Sprachen insbesondere dann problematisch, wenn die Nachrichten kurz sind und mit anderssprachlichen Fachbegriffen angereichert sind.In the patent application EP 0 889 626 A1 there is a message transmission system known for telephone subscribers, where a system for recorded acoustic messages (voice mail) is coupled with an e-mail system. E-mails can be acoustically output to a participant. To for the The correct speech conversion algorithm To be able to choose, e-mails are based on letter combinations examined with three consecutive letters. Because of the frequency of the combination of letters conclusions are drawn about the language used. This The process requires considerable effort for implementation of the system. It must be substantial in such a system Resources in memory and computing power for program execution and available for appropriate libraries be put. This is especially true for applications in Motor vehicles undesirable. It is also a reliable one Differentiation between similar languages especially then problematic when the news is short and with different language Technical terms are enriched.
Es ist ein Ziel der Erfindung, ein Verfahren zum akustischen Ausgeben von Text und ein Sprachausgabesystem bereit zu stellen, die auf besonders effiziente und zuverlässige Weise eine korrekte Wiedergabe von Texten erlauben, die in unterschiedlichen Sprachen vorliegen können.It is an object of the invention to provide an acoustic method Outputting text and providing a screen reader system which is particularly efficient and reliable allow correct reproduction of texts in different Languages can be available.
Dieses Ziel wird mit einem Verfahren und einem Sprachausgabesystem erreicht, wie sie in den unabhängigen Patentansprüchen definiert sind. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. This goal is achieved with a procedure and a speech system achieved as in the independent claims are defined. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Vor Beginn der Sprachausgabe wird ein Text auf Wörter oder Abkürzungen untersucht, die für eine Sprache charakteristisch sind, um die Sprache des Textes zu identifizieren. Aufgrund der erkannten Sprache wird ein speziell der erkannten Sprache zugeordneter Algorithmus für die akustische Ausgabe des Textes automatisch gewählt. Dadurch werden die synthetisch erzeugten Phoneme, bzw. die Wortsilben oder Laute, richtig betont.Before the speech begins, a text on words or Abbreviations examined that are characteristic of a language are used to identify the language of the text. Because of the recognized language becomes a specially the recognized language assigned algorithm for the acoustic output of the text automatically selected. This will produce the synthetically Phonemes, or the word syllables or sounds, emphasized correctly.
Trifft beispielsweise ein schriftlicher Text über Rundfunk oder Mobilfunk, insbesondere Mobiltelefon, z. B. über das Radio-Daten-System (RDS) bzw. beim Mobilfunk über Short Message Service (SMS), in einen Personenkraftwagen ein, so kann der Text ohne Bedienaktion des Fahrzeugführers in der für die Sprache des Textes geeignetes Sprechweise wiedergegeben werden. Dies ist insbesondere bedeutsam für Geschäftsreisende, die auch Kontakte mit fremdsprachigen Kunden pflegen.For example, meets a written text on broadcast or mobile communications, especially mobile phones, e.g. B. on the radio data system (RDS) or for mobile communications via short message Service (SMS) in a passenger car, so the Text without operator action by the driver in the for the Language of the text can be reproduced in a suitable manner. This is particularly important for business travelers, who also maintain contacts with foreign-language customers.

Der Mikroprozessor 1 untersucht einen Text auf das Vorkommen von Schlüsselwörtern und typischen Buchstabenkombinationen in denjenigen Sprachen, in denen er jeweils über einen Sprachumwandlungs-Algorithmus verfügt. Solche Schlüsselwörter sind Anreden und Grußformeln, wie beispielsweise "Sehr geehrte(r)", "Herr", "Frau", "Dear", "Cher", "Chère", etc. Ferner sind Artikel, Pronomen und Konjunktionen Wörter, anhand denen auf einfache Weise eine Sprache identifizierbar ist. Ähnliches gilt für typische Schriftzeichenkombinationen oder Abkürzungen wie "H.", "Hr.", "F.", "Fr.", "Mr.", "Ms.", "M.", "Mme".The microprocessor 1 examines a text for the occurrence of keywords and typical letter combinations in those languages in which he uses a language conversion algorithm disposes. Such keywords are Salutations and greetings, such as "Dear", "Mr.", "Mrs.", "Dear", "Cher", "Chère", etc. Furthermore are articles, pronouns and conjunctions words based on a language can be easily identified. Similar thing applies to typical character combinations or abbreviations such as "H.", "Mr.", "F.", "Fr.", "Mr.", "Ms.", "M.", "Mme".
Da manchmal die Anrede und der sich anschließende Text in unterschiedlichen Sprachen gehalten sind, führt der Mikroprozessor, nachdem er das erste Schlüsselwort oder die erste typische Schriftzeichenkombination einer konkreten Sprache zuordnen konnte, seine Suche im Text fort. Treten Widersprüche auf, so daß mehr als eine Sprache aufgrund der identifizierten charakteristischen Wörter oder Schriftzeichen erkannt wird, so erfolgt eine Mehrheitsentscheidung. Die Sprachausgabe wird dann in derjenigen Sprache vorgenommen, die am häufigsten im Text erkannt wurde. Damit führen auch Schreibfehler nicht zu einer Fehlinterpretation der Sprache.Because sometimes the title and the subsequent text in different The microprocessor guides languages, after getting the first keyword or the first typical Assign the character combination to a specific language could continue his search in the text. Contradictions occur so that more than one language is identified based on the characteristic words or characters recognized a majority decision is made. Narrator is then done in the language that is most common was recognized in the text. This also leads to typing errors not a misinterpretation of language.
