Abstract

This research covers two phases: recognition & speech synthesis. The main aim of this research was to prepare a system which speaks the handwritten Punjabi word. Till now, the research for Punjabi word recognition is limited to 2460 Punjabi characters only (i.e. only for words available in database). In our proposed system, technique used for recognition is Support Vector Machine & for speech synthesis technique used is CTTS (Concatenative Text-to-Speech). For recognition, the proposed approach is database independent. But for speech synthesis, the proposed approach is database dependent.
