E-Mese is a Hungarian voice created within BOSS (Bonn Open Synthesis System) for a restricted unlimited domain of children`s literature. The aim of the voice is to study relevant language specific issues of Hungarian concerning unit selection speech synthesis, such as offering a possible solution for synthesizing inflected word forms that are out-of-vocabulary due to the characteristic strong agglutination of Hungarian.
