ABSTRACT
A Text-to-speech Converter converts text into spoken word, by analyzing and processing the text
using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and then using Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
technology to convert this processed text into synthesized speech representation of the text. Here,
we developed a useful text-to-speech synthesizer in the form of a simple web page that converts
inputted text into synthesized speech.
Design and Implementation of a Text-to-speech Converter system is the generation of
synthesized speech from text. The purpose of this paper is to make synthesized speech as
intelligible, natural and pleasant to listen, as human speech. Speech is the primary means of
communication between people.
During synthesis very small segments of recorded human speech are concatenated together to
produce the synthesized speech.
The quality of a speech synthesizer is judged by its similarity to the human voice and by its
ability to be understood. A text-to-speech synthesizer allows people with visual impairments and
reading disabilities to listen to written works on a home computer.
Keywords: Text-to-Speech Synthesis, Natural Language Processing, Digital Signal Processing
