Chinese speech synthesis is the application of speech synthesis to the Chinese language (usually Standard Chinese). It poses additional difficulties due to the Chinese characters (which frequently have different pronunciations in different contexts), the complex prosody which is essential to convey the meaning of words, and sometimes the difficulty in obtaining agreement among native speakers concerning what is the correct pronunciation of certain phonemes.
