Abstract

This paper presents a Pashto digits synthesis system that produces the Pashto digits form zero (Sefer) to one thousand (Yaw Zar) using a set of Pashto recorded digits stored in the speech database. Speech database for the Pashto digits synthesizer consist of digits from Sefer (0) to Naha (9), Las (10), Shul (20), Dairsh (30), Celwaikht (40), Panzoos (50), Shpeta (60), Awaya (70), Atya (80), Nawi (90), Sul (100), and Zar (1000). The recording of the Pashto digits has been carried out using Sony PCM-M 10 linear Recorder in a noise free environment. The recording has been done from one person. The recorded audio file of the Pashto digits is split into isolated digits by utilizing Adobe Audition ver 1. 0. The Pashto digits are synthesized through concatenative technique using isolated Pashto digits present in the speech database.
