 Speech synthesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Speech synthesis systems use two basic approaches to determine the pronunciation of a word based on its spelling, a process which is often called text-to-phoneme or grapheme-to-phoneme conversion, as phoneme is the term used by linguists to describe distinctive sounds in a language.
Speech synthesis systems for languages like this often use the rule-based approach as the core approach for text-to-phoneme conversion, resorting to dictionaries only for those few words, like foreign names and borrowings, whose pronunciation is not obvious from the spelling.
High speed synthesized speech is often used by the visually impaired for quickly navigating computers using a screen reader.

Speech synthesis markup languages should be distinguished from dialogue markup languages such as VoiceXML, which includes, in addition to text-to-speech markup, tags related to speech recognition, dialogue management and touchtone dialing.
A number of markup languages have been established for rendition of text as speech in an XML compliant format, the most recent being SSML proposed by the W3C which is in draft status at the time of this writing.

 Text To Speech
This document will give you a technical overview of text-to-speech so you can understand how it works, and better understand some of the capabilities and limitations of the technology.
Once the text has been normalized and simplified into a series of words, it is passed onto the next module, homograph disambiguation.
Trivially, text normalization converts a string like "John rode home." to a series of words, "john", "rode", "home", along with a marker indicating that a period occurred.

Among the many definitions that could be given of text-to speech, the one that describes it as a way of having a computer audibly communicate information to the user is probably the most relevant within the context of this statement.
Since the advantages and disadvantages of synthesis by rule and concatenative synthesis are to a certain extent complementary, a hybrid text-to-speech strategy is receiving increased attention.
The resulting speech parameter vectors are then used to drive a speech synthesiser, which is frequently a formant synthesiser.

 How is Text to Speech Integrated?
Text to speech requires somewhere between 8 and 10 megabytes of physical memory (although it will be swapped disk when not in use) so installing the text to speech option is optional.
Text to speech is a technology where the computer converts text into speech using a computer-generated (and computer sounding) voice.
This gives the text to speech playback a sort of classy quality, but it does mean that some words are pronounced differently during text to speech playback than they would be by a standard American speaker.

 Text To Speech
All the text-to-speech engine has to do is convert the list of phonemes and their duration, pitch, and volume, into digital audio.
Once the text has been normalized and simplified into a series of words, it is passed onto the next module, homograph disambiguation.
Sometimes a part of speech will be ambiguous until more context is known, such as for "read." Of course, disambiguation of the part-of-speech may require hand-written rules.

 Text to speech: A Rewriting System Approach (ResearchIndex)
Abstract: In this document we present an open source Portuguese text to speech.
In order to do that, we wrote a generic text rewriting system that is presented in the section two.
Our first goal is to provide a flexible way to extend it, using a generic way to convert Portuguese words on SAMPA phonemes, and consult dictionaries only on exceptions examples.

 An Introduction to text-to-speech synthesis
Well chosen speech models allow data size reduction, an advantage which is hardly negligible in the context of concatenation-based synthesis given the amount of data to be stored.
This is occasionally achieved at the expense of some restrictions on the text to pronounce, or results in some reduction of the "emotional dynamics" of the synthetic voice (at least in comparison with human performances), but it generally allows to solve the problem in real time with limited memory requirements.
The broad spreading of the Klatt synthesizer [Klatt 80], for instance, is principally due to its invaluable assistance in the study of the characteristics of natural speech, by analytic listening of rule-synthesized speech.

For example, the text analysis capabilities of the system detect the ends of sentences, perform some rudimentary syntactic analysis, expand digit sequences into words, and disambiguate and expand abbreviations into normally spelled words which can then be analyzed by the dictionary-based pronunciation module.
Other components handle prosodic phrasing, word accentuation, sentence intonation, and the actual speech synthesis.
