Síntesis de concatenación. La síntesis concatenativa se basa en la concatenación (encadenamiento) de segmentos de voz grabada. Generalmente, la síntesis concatenativa produce el habla sintetizada con el sonido más natural. Sin embargo, las diferencias entre las variaciones naturales del habla y la naturaleza de las técnicas automatizadas para segmentar las formas de onda a veces dan como resultado fallas audibles en la salida. 1, record 1, Spanish, - s%C3%ADntesis%20de%20concatenaci%C3%B3n
