The input or output of a natural Language processing system can be either written text or speech.To process written text we need to analyze: lexical, syntactic, semantic knowledge about the lang uage, discourse informat ion, real world knowledge to process spoken language, we need to analyze everything required to process written text, along with the challenges of speech recognition and speech synthesis.This paper describes how articulatory phonetics of Kannada is used to generate the phoneme to speech dictionary for Kannada; the statistical computational approach is used to map the elements which are taken from input query or documents.The articulatory phonetics is the place of articulation of a consonant.It is the point of contact where an obstruction occurs in the vocal tract between an articulatory gesture, an active articulator, typically some part of the tongue, and a passive location, typically some part of the roof of the mouth.Along with the manner of articulation and the phonation, this gives the consonant its distinctive sound.The results are presented for the same.
