Malayalam Text-to-Speech

The computer synthesis of natural speech is an objective for both engineers and linguists that would provide many useful applications to human-computer interaction. This paper explores text to speech system with Optical Character Recognition (OCR), where spoken utterances are automatically produced from text. Text to speech system with OCR is yet to develop for Indian languages, especially for Malayalam. Therefore we attempt to develop a text-to-speech for Malayalam using by tools available in matlab. Some facts of the current state technology are illustrated and the final section will explain the authors approach to the field of voice synthesis. The output generated by the proposed system to have very closeness to natural human voices.
