Abstract
The present invention provides a method for building a speech feature library, as well as a method, an apparatus, a device and corresponding non-volatile, non-transitory computer readable storage media for speech synthesis. Because the speech feature library used in the present invention saves at least one context corresponding to each piece of personalized textual information and at least one piece of textual information semantically identical to the personalized textual information, when performing speech synthesis, even if the provided textual information is not personalized textual information corresponding to the desired personalized speech, personalized textual information semantically identical to the textual information to be subject to speech synthesis may be first found in the speech feature library to thereby achieve personalized speech synthesis, such that use of the personalized speech will not be restricted by aging, sickness, and death of a person.
