摘要：
This paper presents a method for selecting speech units for polyphone concatenative speech synthesis, in which the simplification of procedures for search paths ill a graph accelerated the speed of the unit-selection procedure with minimum effects oil the speech quality. The speech units selected are still optimal: only the costs of merging the units oil which the selection is based are less accurately determined. Due to its low processing power and memory footprint requirements. the method is applicable in embedded speech synthesizers.
