Speech Synthesis

This document outlines a project to develop a text-to-speech software using MATLAB or Java. It discusses speech synthesis and text-to-speech conversion processes. Tools like the MATLAB Voicebox toolbox and Java Speech API would be used. The software would have applications like a talking dictionary for education. Implementation would be on Windows using databases to store text and speech would be synthesized by December 2011.

SPEECH SYNTHESIS

SUBMITTED BY AAYUSHEE GUPTA MONALIKA BISWAS ANTARIKA BARUAH

OBJECTIVE
SPEECH SYNTHESIS : Artificial production of human speech. SPEECH SYNTHESIZER: Computer system used for speech synthesis and can be implemented in software and hardware. OUR OBJECTIVE : To primarily use MATLAB or Java for developing the Text-to-Speech software and implement it in an application like a talking dictionary or any other application for educational purpose

SCOPE

APPLICATIONS Screen readers for people with visual impairment People with Dyslexia Educating pre-literate children People with severe verbal impairment In combination with Speech Recognition

PROCESS DESCRIPTION

text-to-speech system (or "engine") is composed of two parts: a front-end and a back-end FRONT-END text normalization, pre-processing, or tokenization text-to-phoneme or grapheme-to-phoneme conversion. BACK-END converts the symbolic linguistic representation into sound

IMPLEMENTATION TOOLS

MATLAB VOICEBOX TOOLBOX Toolbox comprising of MATLAB routines Functions for speech synthesis include: Sapisynth: Text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) of a string or matrix entries Glotros: Calculates the Rosenberg model of the glottal flow waveform Glotlf: Calculates the Liljencrants-Fant model of the glottal flow waveform
