A Text-To-Speech (TTS) 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. The aim and objectives of this project is to develop a useful
text-to-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 through large volume of text easier. The Text- To-Speech (TTS) system
gets the text as the input and then a computer algorithm which called Text-To-Speech (TTS)
engine analyses the text, pre-processes the text and synthesizes the speech with some
mathematical models was designed, implemented and evaluated. The developed system was
designed by creating the following modules: Home Page, Login Page, and Text to Speech
Page of the text to speech conversation for visually impaired people. It is therefore concluded
that a text to speech conversation for visually impaired people that is capable of providing a
user friendly and accessible’ means of text to speech conversation for visually impaired
people has been developed. This new system is cheap, robust, and is able to run on multiple
platforms than old system. The development of a text to speech synthesizer will be of great
help to people with visual impairment and make through large volume of text easier. The
programming language used to implement this project is visual basic because it is object
oriented language and it is user’s friendly.
