TEXT TO SPEECH TECHNOLOGY

45 PAGES (5735 WORDS) Computer Science Project
ABSTRACT
Text-to-speech (TTS) technology on a computer refers to the combination of text appearing on the computer display together with the computer speaking that text aloud with a digitized or synthesized voice. Digitized speech is a recorded (or digitized) human voice speaking, and synthesized voice is a computer-generated voice speaking the text. This project focuses on TTS software tools that use synthesized speech to read any text.
There are a wide range of TTS software tools available. Shareware programs are available via the Internet from shareware sites such as www.tucows.com. If you search for text-to-speech (with and without the hyphens) you can locate inexpensive or freely available software. Typically shareware and freeware programs are limited in their capability; however, they are useful for trying out the technology.
