Speech Synthesis for Punjabi Language Using Festival
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2017, Vol 19, Issue 5
Abstract
Processing of digital speech plays an important role in modern speech communication research and applications. The main propose of digital speech is communication which means transmission of messages between human and computer systems. The process of converting the written text into speech is called Text-toSpeech (TTS) and the generation of “synthetic” speech is known as Speech Synthesis. This paper discusses the development of Text-to-Speech system using festival framework for Punjabi language which is in Gurumukhi script. Since festival uses concatenation approach, diphone has been chosen as the basic unit of concatenation for speech synthesis. We defined the phone set and possible number of diphones for Punjabi language. Apart from that configuration of Festival framework on Ubuntu 14.04 Linux is discussed. Recording of nonsense word has been done from which the diphones are extracted for concatenation to produce speech. The aim of this paper is to give the details regarding the manipulations of some files required to add some new language in festival.
