Text to Speech Conversion with Phonematic Concatenation

Abstract

This paper presents a method to design a Text to Speech conversion module by the use of Matlab by simple matrix operations. Firstly by the use of microphone some similar sounding words are recorded using a record program in the Matlab window and recorded sounds are saved in .wav format in the directory. The recorded sounds are then sampled and the sampled values are taken and separated into their constituent phonetics. The separated syllables are then concatenated to reconstruct the desired words. By the use of various Matlab commands i.e. wavread, subplot etc. the waves are sampled and extracted to get the desired result. This method is simple to implement and involves much lesser use of memory spaces.
