ABSTRACT

A Text-to-speech synthesizer is an application that converts text into spoken word, by

analyzing and processing the text using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and then using
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology to convert this processed text into synthesized
speech representation of the text. Here, we developed a useful text-to-speech synthesizer
in the form of a simple application that converts inputted text into synthesized speech and
reads out to the user which can then be saved as an mp3 file. The development of a text to
speech synthesizer will be of great help to people with visual impairment and make making
through large volume of text easier.

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Text-to-speech synthesis -TTS - is the automatic conversion of a text into speech that
resembles, as closely as possible, a native speaker of the language reading that text. Text-to
speech synthesizer (TTS) is the technology which lets computer speak to you. The TTS
system gets the text as the input and then a computer algorithm which called TTS engine
analyses the text, pre-processes the text and synthesizes the speech with some mathematical
models. The TTS engine usually generates sound data in an audio format as the output.

1.2 OBJECTIVES

 To convert text to speech

 To convert text from one language to another

1.3 PURPOSE

Our purpose is text to speech translation. The system is helpful for persons having learning
difficulties or visually challenged. It Prevents eye from strain, and user can sit and listen
comfortably, help avoiding an external human translator. And also avoid sharing of trade
secrets with other translators. It will help in widening the trade market and Travelling to
foreign countries and speaking their native language will be made easy mechanical attempts
dating to the eighteenth century.

1.4 SCOPE

 This application is designed to overcome the language barriers.

 The application is designed to overcome language difference.

 The application designed to help visually impaired people.

2.2.1 FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

 User-definable lexicon

 Language switching within the text

 Support for multiple document types

 Switching among the multiple voices

 Ability to create many audio file at once

 Text spelling check

2.2.2 NON-FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Non-functional requirement specifies how the system should behave and that it is a constraint
upon the system behavior. Non-functional requirements of our system are:

 Ease of use

 Flexibility of voice control (set pitch, timbre, pause in the speech)

 Ease of Mark-up Language setting

 Accessibility of technical support

 lOMoARcPSD|33212006

Below is mentioned the appropriate and overall flow of program. The flow of program starts
with taking input as text followed by selecting language, downloading module, text
processing and finally the output as voice will generate.

4.2 USED MODULES

Downloaded by Aman Sharma ([email protected])

 lOMoARcPSD|33212006

In programming, a module is a piece of software that has a specific functionality.

We have used two different types of modules in our project
1 - Text to text processing module.
2 – Text to voice processing module.
Firstly, the language is detected and the module is downloaded, initially the text is translated
from one language to another and then the text is converted to speech. The modules are taken
from ML kit.

TESTING AND RESULTS

6.1 TESTING
The aim of the testing process was to determine all defects in our project. This
program was subjected to a set of test inputs and various observations were made and based
on these observations it will be decided whether the program behaves as expected or not. Our
project went through two levels of testing
6.1.1 Unit testing
6.1.2 Integration testing

6.2 Unit testing

Unit testing is undertaking when a module has been created and successfully
reviewed. In order to test a single module we need to provide a complete environment
i.e. besides the module we would require.

 The procedures belonging to other modules that the modules under the test calls.

 Non-local data structures that module accesses.

 A procedure to call functions of the module under test with appropriate parameters
unit testing was done on each and every module that is described under module
description.

6.3 Integration testing

In this type of testing we test various integration of the project module by providing the input.
The primary objective is to test the module interfaces in order to ensure that no errors are
occurring when one module invokes the other module.

6.4 White Box Testing

White box testing is a method of testing software that tests internal structure or working of an
application, as we know the internal working of our project code we use white box testing.

7.1Conclusion

As per the goal of this project an attempt is made to show how the app speaks out the any
language text. Here the provision is provided to the user to input the text and he can listen to
his text. The “naturalness” of the synthetic speech needs to be improved for implementing the
expressions of the human beings. By developing such systems, relationship between human
and computer becomes much closer. Thus it helps in overcoming the problem of DIGITAL
DIVIDE.

7.2Future Scope

 Improvement of the smoothness of the sound.

 Inclusion of prosody and the naturalization of the voices like human expressions.
 Reading of special cases like date and number.
 Inclusion of different kinds of voices and graphical faces.
 Import and Export of documents.
 Controlling the reading speed.
 The system can be further extended to include more languages
