Abdelkader Chabchoub, Adnan Cherif · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2011
work describes the Arabic Text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis system. This system uses an automatic tool based on Diphone concatenation with MBROLA synthesizer. The quality of a synthesized speech is improved by analyzing the spectrum features of voice source in various F0 ranges and timbres in detail. It generates speech synthesis based on analysis and estimation of formant by classifying the voice source into different types. The developed model enhances the quality of the naturalness, and the intelligibility of speech synthesis in various speaking environment. General Terms Signal processing, analysis and synthesis speech.
