• We have developed Thai speech synthesis by rule using cepstral parameters In order to synthesize the pitch contour of Thai tones, we have applied an extension of Fujisaki's model. A mid tone is unique for Thai when compared to Chinese. For the extension of Fujisaki's model to Thai tones, we assumed that the mid tone is neutral and we adopted its phrase component as the phrase components for all tones. According to our study on the pitch contour of five Thai tones using this model, the result shows that the command pattern for the local F_O components needs both positive and negative commands. Listening tests showed that the intelligibility of the Thai tones measured in terms of error rate were 0.0%, 0.7% and 2.7% for analysis/synthesis, Fujisaki's model and the polynomial model, respectively Therefore, it is shown that the extension of Fujisaki's model is effective for Thai.
