In this paper, we discuss a consortium effort on building text to speech (TTS) systems for 13
Indian languages. There are about 1652 Indian languages. A unified framework is therefore …

This paper describes the efforts of a consortium consisting of five institutions in India to build
TTS systems in six Indian languages–Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Bengali, Marathi and Malayalam …

The paper describes a modular, unit selection based TTS framework, which can be used as
a research bed for developing TTS in any new language, as well as studying the effect of …

This paper describes the design and development of Indian language Text-To-Speech (TTS)
synthesis systems, using polysyllabic units. Firstly, a phone based TTS is built. Later, a …

An unrestricted text-to-speech system is expected to produce a speech signal,
corresponding to the given text in a language, that is highly intelligible to a human listener …

Text-to-speech (TTS) synthesizer has been an effective tool for many visually challenged
people for reading through hearing feedback. TTS synthesizers build through the festival …

Unit selection-based speech synthesis has recently been the focus of much attention in the
speech synthesis community. In general, the speech quality from such a system achieves a …

A new method based on unit continuity metric (UCM) is proposed for optimal unit selection in
text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis. UCM employs two features, namely, pitch continuity metric …

Building text-to-speech (TTS) synthesisers is a difficult task, especially for low resource
languages. Language-specific modules need to be developed for system building. End-to …

This paper proposes a novel unit selection algorithm for Japanese Text-To-Speech (TTS)
systems. Since Japanese syllables consist of CV (C: Consonant, V: Vowel) or V, except …
