Concatenative Speech Synthesis: The Foundation of Digital Voice
Concatenative speech synthesis works by stringing together pre-recorded snippets of human speech. Imagine a massive library of every possible syllable and word combination. When you type text, the system searches this library and glues the pieces together. While this was a revolutionary step forward, it often resulted in the robotic, choppy sound associated with early GPS systems. Today, MorVoice has moved beyond concatenation to 'Generative Synthesis', creating fluid, unbroken speech from scratch.
Why Choose MorVoice?
- Historical Accuracy: Understand the roots of voice technology.
- Low Computation: Older concatenative systems require less processing power than neural AI.

Why it's Perfect for Speech Technology
Unit Selection: The process of choosing the best sound snippet from a database.
Diphone Synthesis: Building speech from transitions between sounds rather than whole words.
Popular Use Cases
Legacy Systems
Maintain older ATMs or kiosks that run on limited hardware.
Academic Research
Study the evolution of linguistics and digital signal processing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Why do concatenative voices sound robotic?
Because they are assembled from different recordings, the pitch, tone, and volume often mismatch at the transition points, creating unnatural 'glitches' in the flow.
