Text to Speech Synthesis System for Tamil
In a text-to-speech system, spoken utterances are automatically produced from text. In this paper, we present a corpus-driven Tamil text-to-speech (TTS) system based on the concatenative synthesis approach. The most important qualities of a synthesized speech are naturalness and intelligibility. In this system, words and syllables are used as the basic units for synthesis. Our corpus consists o...
متن کاملA Complete Text-to-speech Synthesis System in Tamil
We report the design and development of Thirukkurul, the first text-to-speech converter in Tamil. Syllables of different lengths have been selected as units since Tamil is a syllabic language. Automatic segmentation algorithm [8] has been devised for segmenting syllables into consonant and vowel. The units are pitch marked using Discrete Cosine Transform Spectral Auto-correlation Function (DCTS...
متن کاملA multilingual text processing engine for the PAPAGENO text-to-speech synthesis system
Automatic synthesis of speech from arbitrary text requires two basic operations: linguistic analysis of input text and speech waveform generation. The achieved quality of the second stage very much depends on the reliability and richness of information generated in the first stage. In this paper we discuss possibilities and problems of text analysis for multilingual speech synthesis. The langua...
متن کاملDomain Specific Text Processing for Speech Synthesis
In Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesis there are words and expressions that pose problems because some semantic knowledge is required to determine how they should be read out. This work implements a domain filter, a pre-processing module that supports the TTS system by analysing text belonging to a certain semantic domain and rewriting problematic expressions so that they are read out better. The fi...
متن کاملDevelopment of Concatenative Syllable based Text to Speech Synthesis System for Tamil
This paper addresses the problem of improving the intelligibility of the synthesized speech in Tamil TTS synthesis system. The human speech is artificially generated by Speech synthesis. The normal language text will be automatically converted into speech using Text-to-speech (TTS) system. This paper deals with a corpus-driven Tamil TTS system based on the concatenative synthesis approach. Conc...
