ResumeThis paper deals with the design of a speech corpus for a corpus-based Text-To-Speech (TTS) synthesis approach. The purposes are first to provide enough speech to develop Yoruba corpus-based TTS system and second, to provide a simple methodology for other languages corpus design. The paper focuses on text analysis, selection of the reliable sentences, selection of the reader, and sentences recording. The analysis is performed to ensure a good balance of the corpus.
