The book gives a nice overview of the field and is well organized. My only complaints are that it's getting a little dated and modern techniques are only mentioned in passing or are not present at all. The second small flaw is that the author is clearly not a native English writer and apparently no native English writer edited the final version. If the author were to create a second edition with a little more of the modern techniques covered and with all the awkward English corrected by a native English writer this would be a gem that would hold up for many more years.

A survey of common practice in TTS sytems together with major limitations as well as research directions. Generally well written, I would prefer more precise technical details though.

I have found it very much knowledge ful for those who to do something in speech technology. It is very nice step towards research towards speech techology.
