Speech Synthesis Using Android

Abstract

Speech Synthesis is one of the most leading application areas in natural language processing (NLP). This is also known as "Text-To-Speech” (TTS) and is mainly the capability of the device to "speak” text of different languages. This application acts as an interface between two different representations of information, namely text and speech, to perform effective communication between two parties. Our main objective is to make an application of speech synthesis for Android based mobile phones. We have developed an application on the Android environment and the voice conversion libraries provided by Android environment are used. The application developed is user friendly and reliable and effective communication is performed.
