Abstract

Authors are under procedure to develop Gujarati Text to speech(TTS) synthesis system using concatenation of Gujarati phonemes for unrestricted input Gujarati text. In this methodology, Gujarati phonemes are needed to record and store as speech database. This paper describes a flexible procedure to develop speech database in . wav format. This method is simple to implement which uses less memory space.
