English Abstract
Speech synthesizers for computer voice outputs are most useful when not restricted to a presorted vocabulary.
The simplest approach to unrestricted text-to-speech translation uses a small set of conversion rules, each specifying a pronunciation for one or more letters in some context.
This thesis which is a design of speech synthesis system based on two of speech synthesis methods that have been designed.
A synthesis by rule (Arabic and English text-to-speech) is obtained with its algorithm for synthesizing speech from written text, using stored phonemes for English text-to-speech as a synthesis unit, and new method, which depends on the combinations of consonant-vowel (Of) synthesis unit for Arabic text-to-speech which proved its success for a some stored syllables and nodes that can be developed for all words of Arabic language.
The second method presented in this thesis is the analysis-synthesis method (linear prediction analysis & synthesizer), the new method for synthesizing a reasonable quality speech using mapping method for excitation n gen era ton to speech.
This system was implemented on IBM compatible computer, 486 DX4-100MHz with a sound blaster support using Turbo Pascal 1.
