The new triphone inventory of a female voice for TTS system has been finished. The motivation for its creation was the fact that there was no female voice synthesis for Czech that would be at our disposal, although it is needed in various applications. The corpus of the texts used for labelling of the new inventory consisted of 550 sentences. The texts were read by a professional female speaker who was instructed to pronounce the sentences with ideally a monotonous prosody, at a constant speech rate.
