A comprehensive text analysis for Bengali TTS using unicode
Sheikh Abujar, Mahmudul Hasan · 2016
Communication is a very natural characteristic of every creature. Sometimes we use different symbols, or many formed languages to communicate each other. Every Languages we use are able for both oral and text communications. Writing symbols is a way to express our intentions through using any physical material. As we have oral communication capability too which we could use exactly as we want to speak or read something from a written text. Machine is not capable to speak by its own. It needs commands, instructions and little intelligence. It is important to learn the basic elements of a language before we speak properly. If we can understand letters of that language then we can speak words and then a sentence. So without understanding or analyzing a text completely it is quite difficult to build such a better TTS (Text To Speech) [11] in any language. In this paper we discussed various ways of analyzing a Bengali text, and how to prepare this text for a better TTS development. We have also discussed various aspects of model and necessary implementation approach based on text analysis. Bengali text parsing and analyzing are extensively discussed here.
