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.

Famous quotes containing the words speech and/or synthesis:
“U.S.A. is the speech of the people.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Our art is the finest, the noblest, the most suggestive, for it is the synthesis of all the arts. Sculpture, painting, literature, elocution, architecture, and music are its natural tools. But while it needs all of those artistic manifestations in order to be its whole self, it asks of its priest or priestess one indispensable virtue: “faith.””
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
