Abstract

In the current paper we report our first results in the development of audiovisual speech synthesis for Estonian. The MASSY model, developed originally for German, serves as a prototype for the Estonian AV synthesis. First, we give an overview of the methods of AV speech synthesis and the Estonian viseme inventory, then we introduce the MASSY model and its adaptation for Estonian; finally, we discuss the ideas for further development.
