In this paper, four speech corpora collected in the Speech Lab of NCTU in recent years are discussed. They include a Mandarin tree-bank speech corpus, a Min-Nan speech corpus, a Hakka speech corpus, and a Chinese-English mixed speech corpus. Currently, they are used separately to develop a corpus-based Mandarin TTS system, a Min-Nan TTS system, a Hakka TTS system, and a Chinese-English bilingual TTS system. These systems will be integrated in the future to construct a multilingual TTS system covering the four primary languages used in Taiwan.
