Abstract

TTS (Text-to-speech) systems are used invariably as part of our daily lives and have come a long way. In this paper TTS system using Concatenative synthesis based on the SDK (Software Development Kit) platform has been presented. This system is compatible with both computer and mobile devices. It has a user friendly GUI (graphical user interface) to control various speech parameters. Speech signal produced can be saved and listened to whenever required. Signal analysis of the output speech can also be done using TTS System. The results of these signal analysis along with the stored speech signal can be used for further applications depending upon the requirements. It is an intelligent system and is able to overcome various normalization problems.
