Abstract

A method (500, 600), device (201 and 206) and system (203) provide, in response to text/linguistic information, efficient generation of a parametric representation of speech. A coder parameter generating system provides a principal set and a supplementary set of speech parameters, the principal set of speech parameters being the parametric representation of speech. Then feedback is provided to the coder parameter generating system using the supplementary set of speech parameters to modify the principal set of speech parameters.
